A Thorny Patch by Hesba Stretton

I read this March 2012
I brought this because of the cover (I like to collect books that have nice bindings)
It is a publication os the Religious Tract Society so a moralistic tale, written and set in late Victorian times.
These books are written for (older) children, but do make a fascinating insight into the times.
I have read Lost Gyp as well by the same author.
I also collect Blackie's books as the bindings were designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
Have you read any of RTS books? do you remember reading them years ago?
7/10
