Synopsis

A Bud of Promise told with quiet intensity about a gifted boy and the pressures that may outpace a family’s love.

A coming-of-age story set in a late 19th‑century world of schools, exams, and high expectations. Bud is a boy of exceptional memory and precocity, whose family and teachers measure him by the score of every test. As his talents draw praise, the emotional weight of performance grows, shaping his friendships, his nerves, and his sense of self. The book follows the bonds with his sister Mildred, a loyal friend Teddy, and a devoted father who believes in his son’s promise while worrying about the toll of pressure on mind and body.

• A gifted child wrestles with fear, pride, and the drive to please those who expect greatness
• Family bonds and the conflict between ambition and well‑being
• The toll of competitive education on health, nerves, and daily life
• Moments of friendship, resilience, and the long path toward self-understanding

Ideal for readers who want a historically grounded look at youth, genius, and the costs of high hopes.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free.
