Ethelred Preston: A Father Francis J. Finn Story

By Francis J. Finn S.J. and Dama R. Poverta

Ethelred Preston is scheduled to arrive at boarding school when his mother takes an emergency trip to Europe to care for his father. To the surprise of the faculty and students, Ethelred is far from the "Little Lord Fauntleroy" they had been led to expect from the letters of reference. Another student, Earl, has some inner struggles as he tackles some of the most important questions human beings face. He is an Episcopalian in the midst of a Catholic boarding school. He is an introverted lad, and hesitates to reach out for advice. Meanwhile, he befriends Ethelred, and Ethelred helps him make one of the biggest decisions of his life.Throughout the twists and turns of this book, Fr. Finn introduces the readers to the world of young boarding school students. A world of pranks, struggles, fun, learning, and attentive care from the professors. This is a class children's book, written at the turn of the twentieth century. All is original with some minor editing to make the story more accessible to modern readers.
