As Rosalie performs on stage the same monotonous acts, the young girls of the village gaze at her with the eyes of admiration and envy. They are certain her life is much more exciting than theirs as they admire her flowing white dress and watch her dance gracefully across the stage. But they do no see what goes on behind the scenes. One day, Rosalie is given hope when an old man gives her a picture of a shepherd who loves her. As she meets hurting people along the way, her new mission is to tell them about the Shepherd who loves them too. Published in 1877, this book sold over 2 and a half million copies.

Charlotte Maria Tucker, English author, who wrote under the pseudonym A.L.O.E. (a Lady of England), was the daughter of Henry St George Tucker (1771-1851), a distinguished official of the British East India Company. From 1852 till her death she wrote many stories for children, most of them allegories with an obvious moral, and devoted the proceeds to charity. The plot of "The Giant Killer" subtitled "The Battle which All Must Fight" features ten year old twins, Constantine and Adolphus who are chagrined to be shipped off to a private tutor in the country. Their lot appears worse when they meet their host and his family, consisting of a wife, son Aleck (who imagines himself the perfect student) and two little girls. On top of that, they are expected to study. Fun seems in short supply when they are not even allowed to pull the cow's tail, and there is no second dinner provided. This allegorical tale can be a simple, amusing story or a lesson to us all.
