eBook
About the author:Hesba Stretton was the pen name of Sarah Smith (1832 – 1911), an English writer of children's books. Smith was one of the most popular Evangelical writers of the 19th century, who used her "Christian principles as a protest against specific social evils in her children's books."[3] Her moral tales and semi-religious stories, chiefly for the young, were printed in huge numbers, especially as school and Sunday school prizes. She became a regular contributor to Household Words and All the Year Round under Charles Dickens's editorship, after her sister had successfully submitted a story of hers without her knowledge. Altogether she wrote more than 40 novels.This book published in 1876 has been reformatted for the Kindle and may contain an occasional defect from the original publication or from the reformatting.
