Description
The room was very full. Children large and small boys and girls and some looking almost old enough to be called men and women filled the seats. The scholars had just finished singing their best-loved hymn "Happy Land;" and the superintendent was walking up and down the room spying out classes here and there which were without teachers and supplying them from the visitors' seat which was up by the desk.Tags

This is a very hard book to rate, and at one point I was about to give up on it, I'm glad I persisted with it, as though I found it challenging in many regards, I did benefit from reading it. While I believe it was originally intended to be a children's book, I'm very glad that I didn’t read it as a child. The Christianity in this book is rather rigid, and at times legalistic. Had I read it as a child it would have been a huge stumbling block to me. So I would suggest that if parents give this to their children to read/listen to, that they either experience it together, or they make it a topic of conversation. While the book's Christianity is deeply sincere, the cultural changes since it's writing, and certain theological issues show more warrant parental guidance.
I listened to the Librivox audiobook, and while I appreciate the narrator's efforts I did not find her enjoyable to listen to. show less
