The happiness of Hazelbrook
Mrs. Lawrence goes out for a day's washing at the rectory and leaves her daughter Katie in charge of the cottage, a shirt to finish, a brother's dinner, a small sister to keep out of mischief and Nelly, the invalid child who lies by the window wishing she could help. The seven chapters that follow take the family through a village fair, the shadow of death, a happy island and the return of a prodigal to safety at home. Charlotte Grace O'Brien's short tale is a piece of Victorian religious fiction for young readers, with duty and pleasure weighed against each other in a rural English village and the lesson that everyone, even a sick child, has work to do. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
