Just David (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Eleanor H. Porter | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

"And David, after another moment's wistful eyeing of the caressing fingers, turned about and wandered out onto the side porch. A minute later, having seated himself on the porch steps, he had taken from his pocket two small pieces of folded paper. And then, through tear-dimmed eyes, he read once more his father's letter."

First published in 1916, Just David is the story of an endearing ten-year-old boy, who is suddenly orphaned and transplanted from a world of music in the mountains to the provincialism of the little town of Hinsdale. Written by the author of Polllyanna, this book tells a similar story of how the simple goodness of David transforms the lives of the people who reluctantly care for him.

Eleanor Porter paints a portrait of strength and sensitivity, manliness and manners. The chronicle will delight your children and inspire them to strive for higher virtues. Including the original illustrations from a first-edition copy, Just David deserves a place among the classic children’s books in your library.
