65 short stories about ‘Abdu’l-Bahá suitable for children’s classes, for children to read themselves and for reading aloud. Who was ‘Abdu’l-Bahá? Why was He called ‘the Most Mighty Branch’? Why was he a prisoner for 60 years? The Most Mighty Branch answers these questions in a simple, straightforward style.
