About This Book

A gentle Victorian children's tale follows Caroline, a warmhearted girl with a pet lamb, who greets the return of her older brother Herbert from school and hopes his visit will prove kind. Herbert's teasing, broken toys, and damage to the garden create domestic trials that test her patience and expose his quick temper. Their mother and household intervenes, and a series of small episodes—playful experiments, mishaps, and moments of remorse—unfolds to show consequences of thoughtless behavior. The narrative quietly urges empathy, self-control, and the restorative power of gentle behavior in family relationships.
