The Mansion by Henry van Dyke
President Thomas S. Monson mentioned in his Christmas address this year that every Christmas season he reads A Christmas Carol and The Mansion. Well, I have read The Christmas Carol many times, but never The Mansion. And so as a surprise to me, Mar bought it. I am so glad she did.
It is really a short story, a little less that 50 pages, and easy reading. It is about a rich man who discovers that even though he is a philanthropist, his "good works" on earth may not be counting for much. Enough said. I don't want to ruin it for potential audiences.
I would highly recommend it. Yep, I would highly recommend it once a year.
