About this book
In the late 19th century, societal norms often neglected the welfare of children, leaving many vulnerable to harsh realities. "Dick and Brownie" by Mabel Quiller-Couch captures this struggle through the eyes of Huldah, a young girl determined to escape her oppressive guardians, Uncle Tom and Aunt Emma. Accompanied by her faithful dog, Dick, Huldah embarks on a journey filled with resilience and courage. This poignant children's novel not only highlights the bond between a girl and her pet but also addresses themes of freedom and survival. Ideal for students and civic activists, this story serves as a reminder of the importance of compassion and the fight against injustice, making it a timeless read for those who advocate for children's rights.
