This was an audio book.

The story was about a young boy who had no family.

Of course, it was well written and an enjoyable tale. Through the whole book, I kept thinking about where our American society is today in its practice of our language or more so, I should say, the lack of it. This children's story had words in it that I didn't even know what the words meant. It was so beautifully written; yet, I doubt many people these days would stick with it, and I doubt many children would attempt to read it.

Nevertheless, it was a very nice story.
