Digby Heathcote: The Early Days of a Country Gentleman's Son and Heir by W.H.G. Kingston explores themes of childhood innocence, family dynamics, and the consequences of youthful mischief. The story centers on Digby Heathcote, a playful and spirited nine-year-old boy, heir to a country estate. His antics, such as raiding the jam pots, demonstrate his mischievous nature and hint at the challenges of growing up in a privileged family. Set at Bloxholme Hall, the novel captures Digby's interactions with his family, especially his clever sister Kate, and the household staff. Through these interactions, the book delves into the joys and complexities of childhood in an aristocratic setting. As Digby navigates his early years, the novel reflects on the balance between familial expectations and personal freedom, highlighting both the freedom and the consequences that come with his social standing. Kingston presents a world where familial bonds, innocence, and responsibility are intertwined, offering insights into a young boy's development as he matures within the context of privilege and the legacy of his family.
Autorenporträt
Burkholder Media Classics..."Of making many books there is no end" (Ecclesiastes 12:12). Everywhere we look we can find books. Hardly is there a place, whether in the home, in the shop, in the workplace, in the museum, or in the religious institution, where we do not find some type of literature. And like Solomon said, "of making many books there is no end." It was true in his day, and it is true in our day. And this is why Burkholder Media has undertaken the task of reprinting Public Domain works that have been written and preserved through the ages. Public Domain books are not under copyright stipulations, and can be distributed freely without permission from the original publisher. But in so doing, Burkholder Media takes every effort to giver proper credit to whom credit is due. Therefore, these reprints retain all pertinent information to acknowledge the original authors and publishers. There is no lack of books being written today, and many good books can be found among this plethora of writing. And yet, there is something special about old books, books that have stood the test of time. This does not mean all old books are good books. In fact, many of the books that have been preserved throughout history are not fit for the Christian mind. Many of them are of little use to the Christian, and as a company, Burkholder Media has undertaken the task of reprinting only those books of value to the Christian mind. Burkholder Media appreciates any and all feedback from our readers. We strive toward excellency, not only in the layout of our books, but also in the character of our books. Everything we do, we do to the glory of God. May He alone be glorified for any and all good that may come from this project of reprinting books that the whole family can be edified wherewith and strengthened in their Christian faith.
