About This Book

The story follows a small boy who treasures a carved stick called Nobbles and lives in a silent, austere household with his severe grandmother. When a dog carries the toy away he follows it and meets a solitary young woman who befriends him, and subsequent chapters trace his hopes for a returning father, changes of home and household, letters from abroad, the search for a governess, visitors, a wedding and a near-drowning, before a final return to the old house; the narrative mixes a child’s point of view with themes of attachment, loneliness, and quiet acts of kindness.
