Title: Christina and the boys
Original Publication: London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1906.
Summary: "Christina and the Boys" by Amy Le Feuvre is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a young girl named Christina, who, after the return of her father from abroad, must confront the arrival of a new stepmother and the complexities of her changing family life. As she navigates these challenges, Christina struggles with her fears and self-image, particularly in relation to her family motto, "Fear dwells not here." At the start of the novel, Christina is depicted as a sensitive and imaginative eight-year-old who has grown up largely isolated from the world outside her nurseries. Her newfound access to her father's library opens up a world of stories and heroes, igniting her desire for bravery in the face of adversity. The opening chapters introduce Christina's internal conflicts about courage and cowardice, especially as she anticipates her father's return with a new wife and potentially a new brother. Through interactions with her old nurse and new acquaintances—like her friend Dawn—Christina's adventures and experiences are infused with themes of friendship, loyalty, and the quest for self-discovery. The narrative explores how she copes with her fears and ultimately confronts the idea of what it means to be brave. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
