A strange little story about a boy's coin,
By
This review is from: Arthur and the Golden Guinea (Hardcover)
The story of Arthur and his guinea is set in colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. Arthur, as any young boy would do, is digging around for hidden treasure when he comes upon this treasured coin. He never shows it to anyone for fear that he may be made to spend it. Arthur seems to dote on the coin, secretly looking at its brilliance in the sunlight and its shine in the candlelight before bedtime. Arthur eventually loses the coin during play and eventually has luck and finds it. He chooses to let everyone know of the coin's existence and his mother lets him keep his treasure.
I'm not quite sure if there is a moral here. Perhaps it comes down that all of us hold certain things special and that we should be allowed to do so. If that is the lesson, I'm not sure any young person would immediately pick up on it. |
