Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Young Foresters: And Other Tales
The young Foresters were good boys, though they had lost their mother so early. Their names were Joseph, Henry, and Herbert. There were four years between each of their ages, for two little sisters had gone to the churchyard before their mother; so Joseph was almost thirteen, Henry was almost nine, and Herbert - little Her by, as they called him - was almost five at the time of my story. They were all handsome, brown haired boys, with fair open faces, strong frames, and active feet. It was their father's comfort that they would be able to take their own part in the world, and willing to keep out of its evils. Of that he was sure, as regarded the three, but J o seph was his particular trust, being the steadiest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
