I have written a story about a five year old boy named Donald. He is staying with his Dad during the summer holidays. I believe this arrangement applies to many families. It demonstrates an amicable relationship between two parents who have considered their young son before any other issues. The setting takes place in the heat of the summer season in Australia.
So two weeks ago this man came to me and gave me a coat and well I don't know what it was for and I still haven't figured it out. Nowadays people don't just go around and give you random stuff . Since the war everyone has tooken everything and made it useful and now this coat what is so important about a coat ? Not only did he give me a coat but a book that erases everything and won't work with slenderized pencils.

This is another story by Amy Walton about life in the English countryside towards the end of the nineteenth century. It is a sequel to "The Hawthorns", except that, for some reason, the name has become "Hawthorne".
On the whole the principal dramatis personae, the Hawthorne household, are unchanged. The additions are Miss Barnicroft, an eccentric old lady from the village; Kettles, an impoverished child from Nearminster, the cathedral city close by; Dr Budge, a learned old man in the village, who takes on the grounding of one of the boys in Latin; Mrs Margetts, who had spent her life in the Hawthorne family's employment as a children's nurse; the Dean of the Cathedral and his family, particularly Sabine, who is the same age as Pennie; and Dr Budge's pet Jackdaw.
There is no reason why a child of today should not read this story and profit by it. They will perhaps be surprised to find how much more civilised life was a hundred years ago and more, than it is today
