By the Hand of a Child

Somewhat in the style of Dickens or O. Henry, this quaintly sentimental period story describes lost love regained and a man saved from his own folly thanks to an innocent intervention. "By the Hand of a Child," originally published in 1913, comes from the pen of Arthur W. Marchmont, a British author who wrote dozens of novels from the early 1890s through the mid-1920s, including the bestsellers "By Right of Sword", "A Dash for a Throne", and "The Man Without a Memory".
