A little about the story
A collection of short tales by W. H. G. Kingston, written to be instructive and entertaining: the miller of Hillbrook, a boy who sets off for London without a penny, sailors and fishermen, shipwrecks and lost children.
Each story carries a lesson, but they are told with Kingston's usual energy.
