I've done this using the Page Excerpt and Child of Page plugins:
http://blog.ftwr.co.uk/wordpress/page-excerpt/
http://blog.ftwr.co.uk/wordpress/query-child-of-page/

... although now I can't recall if I used the more tags at all, because I
was hand-crafting most of the excerpts. You can see the results at
http://justinelarbalestier.com/ -- all the books listed on the home page
are children of the otherwise-empty Books page. Let me know if you want
details on the code. I've been meaning to write up the inner workings of
that site.
