Synopsis

From the Classic series, a series of children's novels, in print since the early twentieth century, which incorporate strong Christian moral themes. These simple tales have been reprinted in response to demand from booksellers, parents and Sunday School teachers. They are ideal for helping children aged 9-13 to understand the values of Christianity and its teachings, and make perfect school or Sunday School prizes. Teddy's most prized possession is the button from his father's coat worn in battle, and teddy delights to tell of his father's military prowess. His reputation as leader of the children of the village is threatened by the young girl Nancy, whose proud ways bring them into conflict. Teddy has to learn to fight his feelings of hatred and mischief. His fascination with the military life is heightened by the arrival of soldiers in his village whom he enchants with his tale, and he uses his experiences of his own conflicts to help a soldier to improve his life. When Teddy nearly pays with his own life to save his button, he comes closer to understanding the demands made in the 'battle' of life.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

"[...]the sea, and never make a cry!' Nancy forgot her wet clothes in her eloquence, and Teddy stared wonderingly at her. 'Well,' he said, as if considering the matter, 'they may be sometimes brave, but they don't fight like the soldiers, and they have no banners, and red coats, and band; and they don't know how to march. A sailor walks anyhow. I saw one once, and I thought he was tipsy, but he wasn't. A sailor walks like a goose—he waddles!' 'You're the horridest, rudest boy I've ever seen!'[...]".

Présentation de l'éditeur

Here is a story that will open a child's understanding of the spiritual battle within as Teddy learns that he is his own worst enemy! As a stubborn boy and girl refuse to back down from their selfish pride, one of the many lessons they learn is that they cannot win battles by force and hate, but by carrying the banner of love. Through this charming story, Amy Le Feuvre helps children to understand the spiritual battle that rages in their souls, and that parents and children are on the same side!
