That’s the title of a spectacular story that you will find in the second volume of The National Review Treasury of Classic Children’s Literature. It’s a powerful and instructive tale of opportunity, failure, redemption, and forgiveness, and is one of five novelettes (others are Jack London’s “The Cruise of the Dazzler,” and Mark Twain’s “Tom Sawyer, Detective”), and 38 total stories – all of them entertaining, wholesome, instructive, elegantly written, and beautifully illustrated – in this fabulous book (exactly the kind you would want your children or grandchildren to have and cherish!). Order your copy and you’ll also receive a free copy of L. Frank Baum’s classic Queen Zixi of Ix. Find out more about these delightful books here.
