Along the way, he learns valuable lessons about social class, honesty, and the importance of hard work. This book is a charming tale of adventure and self-discovery that will appeal to readers of all ages.Winny looked around him as the girls walked away. He had but just begun to understand that he was the only boy who had agreed to attend the party, and it was by no means pleasant to be in opposition to Si Kelly, who had a most disagreeable way of making sport of anyone who did not agree with him. Nothing but the thought that he could have a perfect feast of cake would have caused him to forget, even for an instant, that the self-appointed leader of the boys had not approved of the plan.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
