About This Book

A privileged little girl at a country hall forms an unlikely friendship with the poor, rough-and-ready children living at the nearby lodge, especially a plain, mischievous boy named Bet. When the girl intervenes to save a frightened kitten from local bullies, Bet vows to repay her and ultimately sacrifices his beloved spaniel puppy as a Christmas gift. The narrative traces their everyday interactions and household scenes, highlighting class contrasts, childhood loyalties, an empathy for animals, and a quiet lesson about generosity and selfless affection.
