About this book
A New Year's gift puts young Effie Maurice's religious convictions to a practical test. After a winter evening conversation with her mother about the first commandment, she wonders whether spending money on toys might give possessions too much importance. Her brother Harry suggests pooling their gifts to help John Frink attend school, turning their discussion toward generosity, judging others and the duty to help.
Fanny Forester's children's tale teaches Christian conduct through family conversations and encounters with poverty. In the middle excerpt, Mr Maurice and Harry visit a widow whose sick baby lies beside a barely warming fire. Her sewing, her anxiety and Mr Maurice's offer of care give the moral lessons a concrete setting.
