The Children - Alice Meynell - Bog

The Children is a novel written by Alice Meynell. The story revolves around a group of children who live in a small village in England. The children are all from different backgrounds and have their own unique personalities. They spend their days playing and exploring the countryside around them. However, their idyllic life is disrupted when a mysterious stranger arrives in the village. The stranger is a wealthy man who has come to buy up the land and turn it into a hunting ground. The children are outraged at the prospect of losing their beloved countryside and they band together to try and stop the stranger. The novel explores themes of friendship, community, and the importance of preserving nature. It is a heartwarming and uplifting story that will appeal to readers of all ages.To attend to a living child is to be baffled in your humour, disappointed of your pathos, and set freshly free from all the pre- occupations. You cannot anticipate him. Blackbirds, overheard year by year, do not compose the same phrases; never two leitmotifs alike. Not the tone, but the note alters. So with the uncovenated ways of a child you keep no tryst.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
