About This Book

The narrative follows a schoolboy who excels academically and in sport, and his older brother whose courage and resourcefulness are tested when a sleigh and its horses are endangered on thin ice. A sudden blizzard forces them to seek shelter at a remote grange where an elderly colonel offers warmth and aid. Subsequent chapters recount collisions, stolen cattle, prolonged storms and mounting misfortunes as characters confront harsh winter conditions, personal sacrifice, and the practical resilience needed to endure rural adversity.
