| Summary | "Stories for the Young; Or, Cheap Repository Tracts" by Hannah More is a collection of moral and religious tales written in the late 18th to early 19th century. This work aims to impart ethical lessons to children and young readers, utilizing engaging narratives filled with characters that often grapple with moral dilemmas. Through these stories, More not only entertains but also seeks to instill values such as honesty, responsibility, and spirituality. The opening portion initiates with a story about Black Giles the Poacher and his family, who live in a derelict cottage on the moors of Somersetshire. The text portrays Giles as a cunning character, teaching his children vagrant habits while resorting to theft and deceit instead of honest labor. Despite the father’s intent to lead a life of trickery, the narrative introduces the kind-hearted minister Mr. Wilson, who attempts to guide and uplift the children, particularly focusing on Dick, the least corrupted of Giles' offspring. The tale serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of moral neglect and the importance of virtuous living, setting the tone for the tracts that follow in the collection.
