This is a lively and amusing account of a family, the members of
which while they lived in affluence were remarkable for their
discontent, but who, after the loss of fortune has compelled them to
seek a more humble home in Jersey, become less selfish, and develop
very excellent traits of character under the pressure of comparative
adversity. Their escapades and narrow escapes from serious dangers
form an exciting part of the narrative, which contains many pleasant
episodes of life in the Channel Islands.
"This is a cheery tale. The lesson is Content, and very nicely the
story is told."--_Tablet._
"This is at once an amusing and an interesting story, and a capital
lesson on the value of contentedness."--_Aberdeen Journal._
