That Little Beggar by Edith King Hall
"That Little Beggar" by Edith King Hall is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a lively and inquisitive little boy named Chris, who often finds himself in humorous and mischievous situations, bringing both joy and challenges to those around him, especially his Granny and his nurse, Briggs. The narrative appears to focus on themes of childhood innocence, the dynamics between adults and children, and the
lessons learned through playful interactions and misadventures. At the start of the book, we find Chris at the railway station awaiting a carriage that never arrives, leaving him to walk home. During his journey, he encounters a distressed little boy mourning his lost dog, Jack. Chris quickly sympathizes with the boy, takes the errant dog under his wing, and leads both Jack and the boy back to their home at Skeffington. The early chapters introduce Chris's character—his playful dialogue with adults, his propensity for mischief, and his tender relationship with his Granny. The tone is light-hearted and charming, setting a warm, whimsical atmosphere that promises delightful escapades as the story unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
