About this book
A storm-battered stretch of coast, a fishing village and an old stone house set the scene for Glance Gaylord's story of grief and Christian duty. Skipper Ben's weekly visits aboard the White Gull connect Culm Rock with the wider world. In the stone house, Richard Trafford lives with his housekeeper after the loss of his wife. His young nephew Noll struggles with the loneliness of his new surroundings while trying to bring warmth into his uncle's life.
When fever spreads through the fishermen's homes, Noll suggests that better cleanliness and care could help. His concern for the villagers brings him into conflict with an uncle frightened for the boy's health. Written for younger readers, the novel connects family affection with responsibility toward neighbours. Its detailed coastal setting and the tension between private sorrow and practical kindness give today's readers a close look at the moral concerns of nineteenth-century children's fiction.
