Book Description

A little Italian boy with a beautiful voice, who comforted Mrs. Burnett when she mourned for her son at San Remo, is the hero of the first story. It is slightly autobiographical, introducing the writer and her tender reminiscences of her lost boy. "The boy who became a Socialist" is a pleasant sketch of " Geof,' her second son. The other stories deal with children she has met all over the world—princes and peasants—and are full of a delightful humor.
