WILLARD, Barbara - Three and One to Carry - (Hardcover in Wrapper)

This is an x-lib but book and wrapper remain in good condition.   ****   Prue and Tiger live with their father and older sister Rosanna on their small farm in the Southern part of England. A friend of their sisters is having a hard time finding a job after his cottage is sold with part of an old estate. Now jobless Rosanna's friend leaves his son, Arthur, who is just a bit younger than her brothers and sisters until his father can find a new job. Neither Prue or Tiger really appreciates having him hang around. Rosanna tries to remind them that Arthur's mother is dead too and it's hard on his father not having a job and it will just be for a "little while." The children learn many valuable lessons, how to care for others, and the value of friendship when an accident in the barn leaves poor little Arthur with a broken leg, and he in Prue and Tiger's complete care as their father works the farm all day and their older sister works away at her job, leaving them to care for him and grow up a bit too.
