The Golden Scarecrow

From Wikisource
The Golden Scarecrow (1915)
by Hugh Walpole
New York: George H. Doran Company, 1915.

The reader enters into the spirit of the child's world. There are a dozen children living about an old-fashioned square filled with the atmosphere of leisure and quiet. One is the son of a duke, and another the son of a slatternly housekeeper. Their lives are bound together by fellow-citizenship in the world of fancy. —The Bookman, 1915.
