Mrs. Mary Martha (Butt) Sherwood

A tale about a young boy who is deserted in the woods by his seven selfish brothers after their father, a woodcutter, dies. The boy survives with the help of Caesar, his dog, and many years later is reunited with his brothers, wood-cutters who have now lost their livelihood. They ask his forgiveness and he charitably makes it possible for them to live and prosper.

First published in 1814, this edition was published in 1834. A poignant story of Henry, a young orphaned English boy growing up in the East Indies (India) with his foster mother and his Hindu servant Boosy, and the marvelous working of God's providence and grace through the faithful witness of a young lady from England and a Mr. Smith of Calcutta.

The exploits of a British family whose children, while frequently involved in misbehavior, are taught the error of their ways with strong doses of Christian doctrine.
