Little Miss Moth
Three joyful sisters move to the country, where they can climb apple trees, get lost in the woods, and find adventures! Charity is most talkative, Hope is full of questions, and Faith is the quiet, dreamy one.
Adventures begin with Charlie and his raft, and their voyage is enhanced by their limitless imagination. Pirates and hidden treasure fill their day. But Faith’s treasure is found in her friendship with Timothy and thundering old Mr. Cardwell, who calls her Miss Moth. She comforts him with words of the Comforter.
A delightful story in the well-loved style of Amy Le Feuvre, with plenty of discovery, learning, and fun!

About the author
Amy Le Feuvre
162 books53 followersAmelia Sophia Le Feuvre (1861-1929) was born in Blackheath, London, England in 1861.
She grew up in a large family which employed a governess for the children's education. Her father worked as a Surveyor at H. M. Customs. Her grandfather, James Mainguy, was a reverend in Guernsey.
She dedicated her life to writing and wrote many books and stories that are filled with Biblical principles and her popularity began in the 1890s and continued for over three decades. She also wrote for magazines like 'Sunday at Home' and 'The Quiver'. Her writing was typical of the new approach of the evangelical writers to the young reader and, like many of the writers of the period she was particularly fond of the "quaint" child, "old fashioned" with delicate health, a type modelled on Paul Dombey. She also wrote of family life, specialising in the outwardly naughty child, the odd one out, whose motives are consistently misunderstood by the adults.
Her publishers included Revell in Chicago, Dodd Mead in New York, the Religious Tract Society in London, and Hodder and Stoughton in London and latterly the Lutterworth Press kept her works in print.
She died at Exeter, Devon, on 29 April 1929 after 68 fruitful years.
Her first book, 'Eric's Good News', was published in 1894 and her last, 'A Strange Courtship' was published posthumously in 1931. She wrote more than 65 books in her career, including at least one, 'Laddie's Choice' (1912), using the pseudonym Mary Thurston Dodge.
Note: Her exact date of birth is not known, she was born in the first quarter of 1861 so the date of 1 March has been used for convenience.

Little Miss Moth, a cute little story. Three mischievious little fairies of girls made for a very lovely story.
Favorite of the girl's humerous quotes: "It's too early in the morning for robbers to be about." 😂...
There was so much encouragement packed into this little story. We often forget about the third person of the Trinity, I think, but this book such a potent reminder that He's our Comforter. Jesus wouldn't have sent Him if we didn't need Him, and it's so wonderful that when when we are going through hard times that He's willing and waiting with open arms for us to come to Him. That He's waiting to wipe our tears away if we will, but come.
I definitely can not recommend his book highly enough.
My rating/ Age Recommendation:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 out of 5 stars)/8+
