TWO YOUNG CORSICANS

by Anna Bird Stewart ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 11, 1944

Modern but not war-time Corsica as background for the story of a boy and his colt. The author writes as though she knew and loved the country -- she gives a real sense of the primitive mountain village life, and of the honest, sturdy Corsican peasant. This little Corsican boy, Baptists, longs to be a shepherd like his father and brother and grandfather, but his father discounts his son's reliability. It takes the sympathy of his mother and the cure, and his devotion to his colt to build in him the responsibility his father demands. But in the end he wins out. Good.
