The Ground-Ash
About This Book
A narrator who delights in spring flower-collecting recounts visits to a wild wood where two hardy, cheerful peasant children are met living in a tiny hut. The children and their broom-maker father endure poverty with industry and good humour; the narrator befriends them, aids their efforts to gather and sell lilies and roots at market, and helps them save for household improvements. After a year the cottage is abandoned and the family seems lost to memory, until an accidental event later brings the children back into the narrator's acquaintance.
