Angel's Alphabet
HILDA VAN STOCKUM'S three-year-old daughter once asked her; "Just tell me about God." The Angels' Alphabet was the result. First published in 1948, this book with its newly colored illustrations is as refreshing a view of heavenly realities as ever. A charming collection of poems and pictures based on the alphabet—A for Angels and Archangels, B for Balaam, C for Cherubim, and on through Z for Zeal. This friendly book of morals and faith is a satisfying blend of spiritual depth and child-like whimsy. "A most felicitous creation. A book about the hierarchy of the angels made familiar to the child, without any saccharine talk or pictures. Quite a feat. Some of the well known angels are brought out singly. Big problems such as Immortality constitute the subject of reverent simple poems. The drawings are in keeping with the text. This book is a sparkling jewel of faith...." —Commonweal,1948 "Written from the child's level .... Very good verse—not just jingles." —Junior Reviewers Newton Center, MA
