The Book of Virtues: A Treasury of Great Moral Stories, sometimes shortened to The Book of Virtues (ISBN0-684-83577-0), is an anthology edited by William Bennett. It was published on November 1, 1993, by Simon & Schuster and was followed by The Moral Compass: Stories for a Life's Journey, in late 1995.
A spin-off for young audiences called The Children's Book of Virtues also came out in 1995. A year later, it served as the basis for a PBS Kids TV series - Adventures from the Book of Virtues.
Bennett had served as Secretary of Education for President Ronald Reagan and often made school trips during his tenure. According to Bennett, the Book of Virtues grew out of conversations with teachers, who expressed difficulty in communicating common moral principles to diverse student bodies.[1]
