About This Book

A young girl passes a rainy day inventing games and painting in a library, then slips to a neighborly auction where she meets a forlorn boy whose family is leaving because his father must join his regiment; they strike up a friendship as she learns of his uncertainty and impending move. The narrative follows the child's imaginative play, small acts of mischief and empathy, and the practical consequences that follow, exploring themes of childhood curiosity, responsibility, and the comforts of neighborly kindness through episodic domestic scenes.
