Novel 343: Charlotte Yonge, The Stokesley Secret (1861)

November 22, 2025 David Bywaters

Stanhope Alexander Forbes, Feeding the Pigs


Nine sibling children save up to buy a poor neighbor a pig.


For Yonge, see Novels 003, 053, 103, 155, 210, and 261.  This, a children’s novel, relatively brief and very charming, shows clearly her unique genius at characterization.

“There is something very natural and true in the picture of school-room life:  the little naughtinesses, the petty teasings, the small vexations, will be familiar to every member of a large family party.” Athenaeum, November 2, 1861
