About this book
An evening gathering of children becomes the setting for stories written especially for them. Their mother reads a letter from Aunt Fanny, who promises each child a tale of their own. The first, intended for Charley, takes the family into a village school, where a new teacher asks his pupils to bring him the brightest thing on earth. Polished coins and sparkling stones compete with a small boy's concern for a wounded dove.
These linked letters combine family chatter, playful exchanges and lessons in Christian conduct. Another tale follows Eva, a blind child whose cousin Ruth reads aloud to her and promises to hold her hand during an eye operation. Prayer, kindness and the courage to face pain give the stories their moral direction.
