After a lot of experimenting I figured out how to do what I wanted and here’s the code excerpt in case anyone is interested:

<?php
        /*global $post;*/
        $mypages = get_pages( array( 'child_of' => $post->ID, 'sort_column' => 'post_date', 'sort_order' => 'desc' ) );
        foreach ($mypages as $post) :  setup_postdata($post); ?>
                <div>
                        <br />
                        <a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title();?></a>
                        <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
                </div>
        <?php endforeach; ?>
