Omschrijving

The Silver Medal is a novel written by John Townsend Trowbridge and first published in 1881. The story is set in a small New England town and revolves around the character of Harry Vandyne, a young boy who dreams of winning the silver medal at his school's spelling bee. However, Harry struggles with spelling and is often teased by his classmates. As the spelling bee approaches, Harry is determined to improve his skills and win the coveted medal. With the help of his teacher, Miss Gray, and his friend, Tom, Harry works hard to overcome his difficulties and achieve his goal. Along the way, he learns important lessons about perseverance, friendship, and the power of belief in oneself.The novel also explores themes of social class and the struggles of working-class families in the late 19th century. Harry's father is a laborer who is injured on the job and unable to work, putting a strain on the family's finances. Despite these challenges, Harry remains optimistic and determined to succeed.Overall, The Silver Medal is a heartwarming story of a young boy's journey to overcome obstacles and achieve his dreams. It is a classic tale of perseverance and the importance of believing in oneself, and remains a beloved work of children's literature to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
