Summary "Granfer and One Christmas Time" by Eleanora H. Stooke is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story weaves together the lives of several characters in a rural environment, centering on Granfer, an elderly farmer, and a pair of siblings from the Blundell family who are navigating their own challenges during the holiday season. Themes of family, forgiveness, and the joy of giving are likely explored throughout the narrative, making it a heartwarming read. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Granfer in his farm kitchen, where he expresses a longing for his estranged son, David, who left home years ago. As spring unfolds, Granfer's daughter, Mrs. Maple, and her two daughters, Nellie and Bessie, bring warmth and light to the setting, while the arrival of new neighbors piques their interest. Through their conversations, we learn about Granfer's troubled relationship with David, illuminating themes of parental love, regret, and hope. Meanwhile, the narrative shifts to the struggles of the Blundell family, specifically the joys and trials faced by Annie and Maggie, two young sisters. Ultimately, the stage is set for an intertwining of their lives around the Christmas season, establishing a touching dialogue on familial bonds and redemption.
