| Summary | "J. Cole" by Emma Gellibrand is a heartwarming and poignant children's novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young boy named J. Cole who seeks employment as a page-boy after writing a charmingly naive letter in response to an advertisement. The novel explores themes of childhood, innocence, responsibility, and the unexpected trials that J. Cole faces in his journey, highlighting both his struggles and resilience. The narrative follows J. Cole as he navigates his new life in service with a kind but somewhat apprehensive employer. Despite his small stature and perceived inadequacies, he earns the affection and trust of the household with his earnestness, good heart, and genuine desire to learn. However, the story takes a dark turn when a burglary occurs, leading to a series of unfortunate events where J. Cole is wrongly suspected of collusion with the criminals. Through a harrowing experience involving danger and sacrifice, the novel ultimately reaffirms the values of trust, loyalty, and the bonds of love, culminating in a touching reunion with his beloved brother. The book encapsulates a rich tapestry of emotions and experiences, making it a timeless tale of growth and redemption. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
