About this book
The Royden farmhouse is full of noise, unfinished chores and tempers ready to flare. Samuel tries to fill a pillow with walnuts, the younger children quarrel, and Hepsy, a frail girl with a curved spine, longs to feel loved by her family. A few considerate words from her uncle bring her unexpected comfort. J. T. Trowbridge builds this children's novel from such small encounters, making ordinary household behavior the ground for lessons in Christian kindness.
Father Brighthopes, an elderly clergyman on vacation, brings a calmer manner to the household. During a chaotic attempt to leave for church, his cheerful advice helps Mr. Royden hold his temper through delays and mishaps. Family dialogue, farm routines and comic accidents give the moral teaching a domestic setting.
