"The Little Woodman" is similar to the Biblical story of Joseph and his brothers. Little William was left alone in the woods and he prayed to God for help. He was so tired he fell down and thought a wolf would eat him. The story demonstrates humility, thankfulness, and forgiving others. Little William became the center of family unity and displayed his trust in God during unknown circumstances. This edition has 12 twelve full page illustrations by Joseph Knight.
