About this book
A warm library at Ashton Grange becomes a place of anxious waiting when Arthur learns that his baby sister Mildred is gravely ill. Mary L. Code follows the boy’s reactions closely, from the effort to obey his mother’s instructions to his dawning understanding of how deeply he loves his sister. The family scenes make sorrow and affection the starting points of this children’s story.
Later, Arthur struggles with homesickness in his aunt’s orderly household. Even winding a ball of wool offers welcome occupation, while a tender goodnight brings the tears he has tried to hold back. Christian teaching shapes the narrative: Arthur recalls a promise of comfort from Jesus and turns to prayer. Readers interested in religious fiction for children will find a story that connects everyday conduct with family attachment and the need for consolation.
