5.0 out of 5 stars
much more to this book than you have any idea..JGA,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Three Candles of Little Veronica (Paperback)
This was the favorite book of all people associated with the Garden City, L.I., N.Y. Waldorf school (perhaps the flagship school at that time for the U.S.) in the school's 'heyday'.. I graduated from there in 1966 when John F. Gardner was headmaster, and Dr. Franz Winkler was Chairman. This book should never be out of print.. it has too much in it for those that wish to follow a spiritual path. If you seek the Holy Grail, read this book; and no, I am not kidding. John G. Aughenbaugh .

The Three Candles of Little Veronica: The Story of a Child's Soul in This World and the Other (Paperback),
By Stan Smith, author of Living in the Infinite ... (Carmel, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Three Candles of Little Veronica: The Story of a Child's Soul in This World and the Other (Paperback)
This is an engrossing and colorful story, but it's the rich lode of spiritual truth in The Three Candles that brings tears to my eyes whenever I reread it. For those who feel not quite at home in this world - who sense that they have one foot in this world and a least a toehold in the other - this book offers affirmation and consolation. It begins with a delightful and wry description of our lost abilities to perceive the essence of nature, and proceeds to illuminate with love and hope the beauty and tragedy of this world. It reminds us of the profound consequences of mundane choices we make. It addresses how we enter and leave this life and what occurs in between. It indicates how the most difficult acts of service arise from the joy of love. As with all great children's books, it is profoundly moral without being at all moralistic. It is also for those adults who would "become again as little children."

Favoite book of my childhood,
By Kate Kerr (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Three Candles of Little Veronica (Paperback)
My mom gave me this book when I was a child it was by far my favorite, the story and the illustrations are rich and beautiful. I had been hoping to share it with my children (my copy has long since dissapeared). This is a book that should never be out of print it has far too much to offer to anyone who has children or not.
