A friendless orphan boy takes a lonely job guarding a great wild swamp — and the timberland, and one bright visitor, slowly make a man of him. Tender, full of birdsong and open air.
Parent content note
A wholesome turn-of-the-century coming-of-age story. Gentle and warm-hearted, with mild peril in the woods and a sweet thread of young romance; lovely for the whole family.
