About this book
A father's story for his children becomes a recollection of his own childhood, beginning with the loss of his mother and baby sister. Regie remembers the household through small, vivid impressions: a box of building bricks, an overheard conversation, and the gentle hands of Mrs. Bundle. Her care gives Juliana Horatia Ewing's children's novel a personal focus, while the adult narrator looks back on the confusion and grief of his younger self.
Later, scraps of conversation lead Regie to form anxious ideas about a prospective tutor. His attempt to explain them to his father brings embarrassment, a lesson in honesty, and an affectionate reconciliation. The book suits readers interested in family stories where ordinary domestic encounters carry emotional weight. Its humour grows from a child's interpretations of adult behaviour, and its reflective voice considers how kindness and patience help a child understand the world.
