STARRY FLAG SERIES
BY OLIVER OPTIC (WILLIAM T. ADAMS)
The lambs will not eat dry husks; they loathe the tasteless morsel which well-meaning sectarians offer them, and hunger for that which will warm their hearts and stir their blood. The heart may be warmed, and the blood may be stirred, without corrupting the moral nature. The writer has endeavored to meet this demand in this way, and he is quite sure that the patient, striving, toiling Leo, and the gentle, self-sacrificing, and devoted Maggie, do nothing in the story which will defile the mind or the heart of the young people. The Bible teaches what they sought to practise. He is satisfied that none of his readers will like Mr. Fitzherbert Wittleworth well enough to make him their model.
This Series contains 4 existing novels/books:
-
FREAKS OF FORTUNE
-
BREAKING AWAY
-
MAKE OR BREAK
-
DOWN THE RIVER
