About This Book

A poor woodcutter and his two young children live in a remote lakeside cottage and manage after the death of their mother. When a bag of money is entrusted to the local pastor, suspicion falls on a notorious neighboring family following a night-time break‑in, and villagers debate expelling them. The children and their allies thwart intruders, and the narrative proceeds through episodes of clever disguise, a reputedly haunted isle, a staged ghost, tense confrontations with a military figure, the theft of a miser, and the intervention of a helpful friend at court that brings the community’s conflicts toward resolution.
