SEVENTEEN CHIMNEYS

by Theodore Acland Harper ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 22, 1938

The story of a boy, whose family have come to wealth in New Zealand, and his efforts to make his own way when his father's bank fails. Refusing to be dependent on anyone, he makes the grade in the mining fields, and emigrates to America on a cargo boat, where he proves himself and gets a start in the kind of work he wants. There is much more of a psychological slant here than in other books along the same lines, a deeper probing into the building up of a personality which is saved from being too priggish by the one ambition -- to stand on his own.
