Christie Redfern's Troubles

By Margaret Robertson
________________________________________________________________________
This author's books tend to be a bit religious, and this is no
exception. On the mother's death the Redfern family moved to Canada,
where there was a strong Scottish tradition, with preacher and kirk much
as they had been in Scotland, and with many of the services in Gaelic,
the language which many of these Scottish emigrants had spoken since
their birth. The family settle on a small farm, bringing up the
children, including Christie, in a good Christian manner.

As with other of Mrs Robertson's books much of the action takes place
in the young girls' minds, and we do not have a lot to do with the four
boys of the family. There are neighbouring families, including the
Nesbitt's, in a similar status.

The actual copy of the book used was in very good condition, and we
scanned it in at a high resolution, but we discovered that some of the
type-setting and the original proof-reading had not been too good for
some of the punctuation marks were missing. I am referring to full
stops at the ends of paragraphs, and that sort of thing. We have done
our utmost to set this matter right, as well as dealing with places
where the type had become damaged.

The book makes a nice peaceful slow-moving audiobook.

Christ, we should then devote all we have, be it little or much, to His

us; the smallest will not be rejected by Him. For it is the motive, not
the gift, whi
