Jan Of The Windmill (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419127205)

""Jan of the Windmill"" is a classic children's novel written by Juliana Horatia Ewing. The story is set in the English countryside and follows the life of Jan, a young boy who lives with his family in a windmill. Jan's father is a miller and his mother is a hardworking homemaker. Jan helps his father with the mill work and also attends school. However, when his father falls ill and dies, Jan is forced to take over the responsibility of running the windmill and supporting his family. The novel explores Jan's struggles and triumphs as he learns to manage the mill and deal with the challenges that come his way. Along the way, he makes new friends and learns valuable life lessons about hard work, determination, and perseverance. This heartwarming tale is a timeless classic that has been enjoyed by generations of readers.""What's ten shillings a week to you?"" cried the windmiller, who was fairly exasperated, in tones so loud that they were audible in the dwelling room, where the stranger, standing by the three-legged table, stroked his lips twice or thrice with his hand, as if to smooth out a cynical smile which strove to disturb their decorous and somewhat haughty compression.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
