About this eBook

Author Walton, O. F., Mrs., 1849-1939
Title Audrey : or, Children of light
Original Publication London: The Religious Tract Society, 1897.
Summary "Audrey: or, Children of Light" by Mrs. O. F. Walton is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The book follows a young girl named Audrey, who lives with her aunt in an old house near a disused churchyard, where she befriends a disabled boy named Stephen and an elderly couple, the Robins. The story explores themes of innocence, friendship, and the concept of spiritual light, highlighting Audrey's journey as she learns about love, loss, and faith through her interactions with the people and the environment around her. The opening of the story introduces readers to Audrey, a playful and spirited girl whose love for adventure often conflicts with her aunt Cordelia's desire to keep her clean and tidy. After a heartfelt conversation about her frustrations with her pinafore and the responsibilities it brings, readers are taken into Audrey's imaginative world, where she longs to play outside in a neglected old churchyard. There, she shares a special bond with Stephen, a boy with a physical disability, and together they discover the beauty and mystery of their surroundings, including an old church filled with memories. As they engage with the elderly Mrs. Robin and her husband, the themes of light and faith begin to intertwine with their daily lives, setting the stage for deeper lessons that will unfold throughout their adventures.
