Mission Tales Volume 1

By Helen M. Roberts

Mission Tales is a seven-volume collection of wonderfully illustrated children’s stories. Each volume contains three interesting, informative, and delightful stories, enjoyed by readers of all ages, but primarily intended for adolescents aged 7-12 years old. Each story is based on historical accounts relating to one of California’s twenty-one missions. A brief historical overview, along with a calendar of historical events, is included for each Mission.

These books are perfect for schools, libraries, and for every child’s bookshelf.

Volume 1 contains the following:

The Miracle Ship (Mission San Diego) - A tale of the beginning of the famous California Missions and the first critical year at San Diego.

Father Peyri’s Shadows (Mission San Luis Rey) - Father Peyri’s surprising reward to two Indian students.

The Two-Tailed Comet (Mission San Juan Capistrano) - The struggle of a young Indian against the terrifying superstitions of his People.
