The Mansion

John Weightman wanted the best of everything. He surrounded himself with beauty and riches, and was very careful with how he spent his money. “No pennies in beggars’ hats,” he liked to say. Until one night he dreamed that he died . . .

Finding himself with a group of travelers dressed in white, John joins them on their journey to the Celestial City where each individual will be rewarded with a mansion based on treasures set aside. Thinking that his mansion will be the most grand, John Weightman learns what it truly means to lay up treasures in heaven.

The Mansion is a classic tale told at Christmastime that illustrates the importance of giving unselfishly.

This 100th anniversary edition of this treasured story contains both an illustrated abridged version and the original unabridged story.
