Reader's Digest Timeless Favorites: Enduring Classics from America's Favorite Magazine

In today’s world, this is a refreshing snapshot at all that makes our nation such a neighborly, honest, and caring place to live and raise a family. It reminds each reader just how lucky we are to be here.

My father is always a keen Readers' Digest reader. It is difficult to find the English version in my country, so I was delighted to find this one, a compact edition with a lot of RD's humanistic stories.

This compilation of stories from Reader's Digest offer a look at different times and places, with each one more readable than the last. From a skydiver who passes out as he is plunging downward to a little dog who defies the odds and is reunited with his owners after a storm to a woman who gives an injured duck a second chance at life -- each chapter is complete in its own right and each offers hope in its own way. I have given this book as a gift. I wish there were more like it.

The book looks like it would be a fun read but the cover was cracked at the spine and one of the pages was torn. Very disappointing as I had bought it as a gift for someone.
