#1 Jessica's First Prayer
& Jessica's Mother
by Hesba
Stretton
Liz Buist
in Reformed Perspective: There is much to be learned from this story. It is written primarily for
children, but this book is worthwhile reading for adults as well . . . Highly recommended for young
and older.
|
"One of the most tender, touching, and withal gracious stories that we ever
remember to have read. A dear little book for our children. We are not ashamed of having shed tears
while reading it; in fact, should have been ten times more ashamed if we had not. The sweet
portrait of the poor child Jessica is a study, and old Daniel is perfect in his own
way."

#2 Probable Sons
by Amy Le
Feuvre
The Sword and
Trowel says: A lovely story that everybody man, woman, boy, or
girl ought to read. The heroine is a charming child who, in a most winning way, applies to everyday life the
Parable of the Prodigal Son, whom she mis-calls the Probable Son. It is scarcely possible to praise too
highly this delightful volume.

#4 Legend Led
by Amy Le
Feuvre
Three children, orphaned at an early age and living with a
governess, are suddenly sent for by an older stepbrother who lives in the country. Steeped in
Arthurian legends, Gypsy, the youngest of the three children, is convinced that the Holy Grail, or
`Holy Thing' as she calls it, is hidden somewhere on their brother's estate. When she does actually
find the `Holy Thing', it is not quite what she has
expected.

#5 Little Meg's Children
by Hesba
Stretton
Christine Farenhorst in Christian Renewal: During the Victorian
era a family, reduced to penury, lives in a squalid tenement awaiting their seafaring father's
return. When the mother dies, the responsibility of caring for her two small brothers devolves to a
very young girl. Having been initiated in the rudiments of Christianity through her mother's Bible
reading, with child-like faith this little woman keeps her family going.
Reminiscent of W.G. VandeHulst, Stretton manages to pass on to
her readers the importance of unquestioning faith in an omniscient God. Excellent
reading.

#6 Teddy's Button
by Amy Le
Feuvre
The Life of
Faith says: Teddy's Button is by the author of
Probable Sons, and it would
be difficult to say which is the better.
Rev. Thomas Spurgeon says: A smile-provoking,
tear-compelling, heart-inspiring book. I wish every mother would read it to her children.
The Christian says: A lively little story, telling of a lad whose military spirit found
satisfaction in enlisting in Christ's army and fighting God's battles.

#8 Harebell's Friend
by Amy Le
Feuvre
When her father dies, poor orphaned Harebell is
taken from India to England. But Aunt Diana, under whose care Harebell is placed, dislikes children, and would
rather send her niece off to a boarding school than keep her at her grand home. Despite her loneliness,
Harebell’s vivid imagination endears her to most people she meets, except the minister’s son, who considers her
snobbish, boring, and arrogant because she would rather tell the town drunkard, Tom Triggs, about the Lord Jesus
than play his games. When Peter gets her into a terrible scrape, Aunt Diana distrusts her honesty and arranges
to send her to a boarding school. In her distress Harebell runs away from home. But in her flight she again
meets Tom Triggs . . . What will this encounter lead to?

#9 Cassy
by Hesba
Stretton
The dog seemed perfectly to understand the state of affairs, and
was somewhat doubtful of the step the girl was about to take. He followed her slowly for a few yards,
and then ran back and sniffed about the damp straw by the entrance, where he was used to sleep, and
thrust his nose carefully among the smouldering sticks, which were the cause of this sudden flight.
But as the girl disappeared among the trees, and whistled softly for him, he made up his mind to
follow her, and the next minute the two were running as swiftly as the girl's feet could carry her
away from the only home she had.
