The Bag of Smiles

When an entire town forgets how to smile, they are sure that somewhere, there must be a secret of happiness, if only they could find it. One day a young boy sets out to search for that secret, and finds it in an unexpected way.

For over a century these six stories, each infused with a unique sense of wonder, have reminded readers of what's truly important in life. They are drawn from a larger book named "Why the Chimes Rang".
