About this book

High in the Welsh mountains, a young midshipman pauses to admire the evening view and hears a strange voice from a broken hut. Its occupant, the elderly Moggy, lives in severe poverty. When children gather around her home and a sudden light signals danger, he runs down the hillside to help. Kingston places this encounter amid rugged peaks, distant sea views and a village whose apparent peace conceals unkindness.

This Christian story for younger readers connects forgiveness with practical care. Willie, troubled by the suffering he has caused Moggy, wants to use an unexpected inheritance to support her. His father, Dr Morgan, guides him toward careful giving and personal sacrifice. Repairs, better food and companionship give concrete form to the book's lessons.
