Description
The Chestry Oak by Kate Seredy is a beautifully told story of a boy who begins with a happy childhood, overcomes peril, and finishes strong. Originally published in 1948, it is a heartwarming tale of resilience and hope. As the world around him changes, young Prince Michael holds on to memories of his homeland and the values that are dear to his heart. With the help of new friends and a loyal companion, he finds a way to rediscover himself and find a sense of belonging in a new home. Kate Seredy's fine illustrations bring this story to life, linking two worlds - Hungary and America - in a way that is both poignant and uplifting.
