Description
I. T. Thurston wrote a story for young readers, illustrated by M. Eckerson, under a verse about a tree's shadow. Our shadow selves, the verse says, may fall where we can never be. Thurston is also named for Boys of the Central and A Genuine Lady.
Contents open with a lost pocketbook and a girl Nan's new home. An accident brings a boy called Tode to meet a bishop and enter his house. Tode makes a new start, while Theo does shadow work and gets into trouble. Later headings name Theo's new business, Nan finding friends, a strike, and a call to go up higher.
