Amy Le Feuvre’s skillful pen creates a most endearing character in Robert Allonby, known as Master Bobby to those of the stuffy old house. With an eager eye fixed on the high road, he waits expectantly for his absent father to return to take him away on adventures around the world. At such a tender age, Bobby learns about the white-robed people that enter through the gates into that eternal city. While his cherished walking stick gets him into much mischief, Bobby thinks often of getting his own robes clean so that he can enter the gates. The eagerness and energy of youth are keen tools for the spread of the Gospel.
