About this book
A family evening by the fire leads to a childhood memory of illness, kindness and a first sight of the sea. When Mr. Lincoln loses track of the dream he hoped to tell his children, Mrs. Lincoln takes over with a story from her own early life. Sent to recover at her Uncle John's rectory, young Lilian finds a cheerful companion in Dolly, the housekeeper. Her singing also draws her grieving uncle into a warmer relationship with her.
Published in 1872 as a tale for young readers, this story connects seaside encounters with lessons about sympathy and conduct. Vea turns from her own unhappiness to speak with Polly, whose troubles at home include harsh treatment from her stepmother and concern for little Willie. Religious teaching runs through the conversations.
