This was a sweet story, very typical of its time, with an innocent charming orphan thawing the heart of her grouchy guardian. The theme of the prodigal son however gave it an evangelistic emphasis. The prodigal son is one of my favourite Bible stories, and I thought it was neatly incorporated into the book.
Despite being a classic, this story is still readable for modern kids, especially those who enjoy historical or Christian fiction.
I listened to the Librivox audiobook which was very ably show more read. Much appreciated. show less

I absolutely loved this book! It was a bit slow at times, but was still really really good! Amy Le Feuvre is an amazing writer! There hasn't been a book she wrote that I didn't like. This story was so sweet and heart warming, and the conflict was so good and so heart-breaking! Bobby was just the sweetest, and True was the most adorable spitfire! A must read for anyone! A great read aloud.
This was a sweet story, but it did have a racial slur. I wonder if it’s been omitted from more modern editions.
This book was beyond adorable! The title says it all! Sweet Millie tries to convince her uncle, Edward Wentworth that he is a "probable (prodigal) son", in a way only a little child can! So so sweet! An awesome read aloud, great for any ages.
