The Herd Boy And His Hermit is a children's book written by Charlotte M. Yonge. The story follows the life of a young boy named Wilfred, who lives in a small village with his family and tends to the village's sheep. One day, while tending to the sheep, Wilfred comes across a hermit who lives in a nearby cave. The hermit, who is known as Father Urquhart, becomes a mentor and friend to Wilfred, teaching him about the natural world and the importance of kindness and compassion.As Wilfred grows older, he begins to question the traditional way of life in his village and seeks to find a deeper meaning and purpose in his own life. With the guidance of Father Urquhart, Wilfred embarks on a journey of self-discovery and learns valuable lessons about love, sacrifice, and the power of forgiveness.The Herd Boy And His Hermit is a heartwarming tale that teaches children about the importance of empathy, compassion, and the value of human connection. It is a timeless story that is sure to captivate readers of all ages and inspire them to live a life filled with kindness and purpose.To think of being left to the society of the sheep, of dumb Piers and his peasant parents was dreariness in the extreme to one who had begun to know something like conversation, and to have his countless questions answered, or at any rate attended to. Add to this, he had a deep personal love and reverence for his saint, long before the knowing him as his persecuted King, and thus his sorrow might well be profound, as well as rendered more acute by the terror lest his even unconscious description to his mother might have been treason!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
