About this ebook

In a sunlit English country house, two cousins test what courage and kindness really mean. Frail, determined Roy longs to do "something big," while quick-witted Dudley follows him with devoted impulsiveness, their bond sharpened by songs of heroism, village adventures, and the stern love of a household ruled by Miss Bertram and their grandmother. When they try to help a stranger, learn from a wise village shopkeeper called old Principle, and visit their ancestral home at Norrington Court, the boys discover that true goodness is less about applause than duty, charity, and self-command. Their youthful daring soon turns dangerous. A planned horse jump ends in disaster when Roy is thrown and badly injured, leaving Dudley frantic with guilt. As doctors fear amputation, Dudley's desperate loyalty reaches its height in an offer that reveals how deeply he loves his cousin. Blending domestic warmth, moral reflection, and high-stakes adventure, this moving story follows two boys learning that honor is not found in reckless glory alone, but in sacrifice, responsibility, and the quiet courage to do good. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.

About the author

Amy Le Feuvre was a beloved British children's writer whose life and fiction were shaped by the values of late Victorian and Edwardian evangelical culture. Born in London in 1861 and raised in a devout Christian household, she devoted much of her career to writing stories for young readers that combined adventure, moral growth, and spiritual conviction. Over time, she became especially admired for her ability to create engaging tales of family life, schooldays, and youthful mischief while steadily guiding her characters toward kindness, honesty, courage, and faith. Her books were widely read in homes, Sunday schools, and children's libraries, and she earned a lasting place in the tradition of wholesome, character-centered storytelling. What gives her work continued relevance is its concern with the inner life: she understood that children's struggles with pride, jealousy, fear, and responsibility are timeless, even when the settings feel distant. Le Feuvre's fiction also reflects a deep belief in redemption and the transformative power of love, themes that still speak to readers looking for stories with moral clarity and emotional warmth. Her legacy lies in proving that entertaining children's literature can also nurture conscience and imagination, and today she will especially appeal to readers who enjoy classic Christian fiction, old-fashioned school stories, and gentle narratives about growing up well.
