Featuring six works of short fiction, An Arrow in a Sunbeam and
Other Tales promotes morals and regionalist pride. Each containing
a unique theme and virtue, these stories provoke thought while
following the lives of compelling characters. Miss Sydney's Flowers
encourages the acceptance of change through the depiction of Miss.
Sydney, a long-term resident of her town. When the city decides to
pave a new road next to her home, Miss Sydney is upset and
resentful of the change. However, as the days go by, she realizes
the benefits of having a busy street near her house. In A Brave
Boy, two brothers, Fred and Albert, who are as opposite as can be,
discuss what they would do in the event of a robbery, pondering the
true meaning of bravery. Following the life of a mysterious elderly
woman, Lady Ferry depicts the relationship between Lady Ferry and a
young girl who is left in the care of her cousin after her parents
embark on a long sea voyage. Finally, in the title story, An Arrow
in a Sunbeam, a church minister seeks out a sad, shabbily dressed
widow that he noticed during a service. Originally planning to be
of help to her, the minister is shocked when he discovers he has
much to learn from the widow. Described as a touching and
masterfully-written collection, An Arrow in a Sunbeam and Other
Tales by Sarah Orne Jewett is sentimental and intriguing. First
published for children, An Arrow in a Sunbeam and Other Tales
promotes timeless virtues and themes in a gentle and accessible
manner, yet is sophisticated and applicable to older audiences.
This edition of An Arrow in a Sunbeam and Other Tales by Sarah Orne
Jewett features an eye-catching new cover design and is presented
in a font that is both modern and readable. With these
accommodations, this edition is accessible and appealing to
contemporary audiences, restoring An Arrow in a Sunbeam and Other
Tales to modern standards while preserving the original tranquility
and beauty of the work of Sarah Orne Jewett.
