Jan of the Windmill
Juliana Horatia Gatty Ewing
Book Overview:
There were two storms: one within and one without. The windmiller's wife was starting to be very unhappy, and the rain was pouring down as fast as her tears. So her husband brought Jan, a neglected child, for her to care for. This book is about his growing up, being a favourite but still an outcast, and discovering himself. Rudyard Kipling claimed to know this book almost by heart, and it is hoped you would like it too. Like any good children's book, it is perfect for both children and adults.

In dead silence and loneliness stood the mill. Even the miller-moth had gone; and a cat ran in by Abel’s legs, as if the loneliness without were too much for her. The sky was gray.
Abel went back to the round-house, where George was struggling to fix the candlestick securely in the wall.
