"Everychild: A story which the old may interpret to the young" by Louis Dodge is a children's tale written in the early 20th century.

Throughout his adventures, he encounters well-known figures from fairytales and folklore. The opening of the story introduces a domestic scene where Everychild struggles to connect with his indifferent parents.
