A little about the story
What is a golden deed? For Charlotte M. Yonge, it is an act of courage and self-sacrifice done for others. This classic collection gathers true stories from across history: the Spartans at Thermopylae, the burghers of Calais, Grace Darling's rescue and many more.
For generations it was a favourite gift book, read in homes and schools to inspire young people with examples of bravery and kindness.
