Summary "John's Lily" by Eleanor C. Price is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces readers to John Randal, a simple and earnest young blacksmith from a quiet village, who unexpectedly finds himself caring for a neglected little girl named Lily after a chance encounter on a railway journey. As the narrative unfolds, it explores themes of innocence, love, and the complexity of human relationships in a pastoral setting, centered around John and Lily's bond. The opening of the novel sets the stage as John, unfamiliar with the bustling chaos of city life, returns home from a trip to London. He encounters a distressed little girl during his wait at the train station, a moment that leads him to rescue her from a rough couple. The narrative details John's thoughts and feelings as he carries Lily into his life, highlighting his strong sense of duty and deep kindness. Despite his simple background, John's world quickly becomes intertwined with the sweet yet fragile Lily, laying the foundation for exploring the challenges and joys they will face together in an ever-changing society.
