About this audiobook
Jasper Crabbe is a thin, sour old man in patched clothes who has taken a ruined little farm on the edge of the common at Yateshull. The village decides he must be a miser or a convict. The truth is sadder: a son who robbed him and fled the country. The village children make a game of jeering at him, and Jasper only grows crosser.
The Bonfire is one of Francis E. Paget's Tales of the Village Children, a moral story for young readers published in 1844 by the rector of Elford. It is read by Richard Stibbard. A period piece about gossip, unkindness and the chance to put things right.
For listeners who enjoy Victorian children's stories.
