About this book
A bunch of yellow ragwort brings an artist's memories of Runswick Bay back to life. Jack recalls arriving at the Yorkshire fishing village as a young painter, hoping that sea air and fresh subjects would help him after the loss of the aunt who raised him. Cottages cling to the cliff, narrow steps connect their doorways, and flowers brighten the rocks above the shore.
O. F. Walton sets this Christian story for young readers within that coastal setting. The sequel to Christie's Old Organ moves from an artist's search for lodgings and inspiration to conversations about faith, personal choice and service to Christ. A later scene places Jack's new religious commitment beside concern for Little John, a feverish child. Readers interested in Christian children's fiction will find a story that joins close observation of village life with direct teaching about belief and conduct.
