Thrift books had a sale and I scooped this up for Solomon. We’ve read it every night for 3 weeks and we’re still going strong. This book is timeless and resonates with children, over a 100 years later. 

It’s been a great book for Solomon to learn new words: bracken, brigand, nursery fender, Scarlet Fever, disabled soldiers, etc.

Really sweet.

What a great children's story. Beautiful sentiment. Beautiful, colorful language. Just a beautiful story. You can see what you read. Guaranteed, I will read this to my children many, many times.
