Excerpt from The Story of Dick
Once he drew a letter from his pocket, looked at the envelope, back and front and then held it with the thumb of his driving hand while with the other he scratched the back of his head and tilted his broad brimmed hat over his eyes. Then his lips moved, and he replaced the letter in his pocket, still looking absently in front of him under the shade of his hat.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an evocative tale of life on an English farm at the end of the 19th century. When the farmer Martin Yelf receives a letter from his brother Joe, a soldier serving overseas, asking him to look after his son Dick, Martin is hesitant. He and his wife are used to their quiet routine, and he worries that a young boy will disrupt their peaceful existence. Despite his misgivings, Martin agrees, and soon Dick arrives at Chapel Farm. At first, Dick's lively and mischievous nature clashes with the Yelfs' more reserved ways. However, as time goes on, the boy's charm and infectious enthusiasm begin to win them over. The author explores the changing relationships within the family, as they navigate the challenges of blending their lives and learning to appreciate their differences. Through its rich characters and vivid descriptions, this book offers a moving and thought-provoking reflection on family, love, and the power of human connection.
