About this book
An outing to the Art Palace gives Grandma Elsie a story to tell aboard the Dolphin. Captain Raymond, his family and their guests are lingering near the White City, where the Fair offers more paintings and sculpture than they can take in at once. Little Elsie's interest in a picture of Joan of Arc turns a quiet rest on the yacht into a lesson about courage, belief and history.
Martha Finley combines this family holiday with the hazards of travel on the Great Lakes. In a storm, Lucilla ventures onto the deck and needs her father's help; afterward, concern for his exhaustion brings the family's mutual affection into focus. Conversations, prayer and parental guidance shape the action. The novel offers readers of Christian children's fiction a close look at a household whose sightseeing and daily decisions become occasions for moral teaching.
