Through time, patience from "the good master" (Jancsi's father) and many adventures, she slowly learns what it means to be part of a family, celebrate feast days and work together for the benefit of the family as a whole.Īll my children, boys as well as girls could not wait for the next chapter to be read each night, and would complain they wanted to hear more when all was done. Little did they know that she would be "a screaming monkey" as Jancsi soon calls her with her headstrong ways and tempers. We learn that his cousin Kate is coming from the city (Budapest) for a visit, and Jancsi dreams of how wonderful it will be. In the beginning, you are introduced to the Nagy family mother, father and a boy named Jancsi who live in the country in Hungary. The copy he gave us is a hardbound version printed in 1967 and the graphics alone are wonderful. He told us that we had to add it to our reading time, which is after dinner. My oldest daughter received this book from her Godfather.
