Summary: A manly and sad story
Review: Ouida expresses depiction of the village in Belgium very beautifully.This also sadly beautiful tale written about Nello, and his dog, and Patrasche can make many people cry.@Nello works to one portion, though he is a boy, and he studies the importance of finishing alone. It is insisted that working hard at any work is important for this work.@Simultaneously, this work expresses the discrimination to a poor person.Nello who believed his future is a manly boy, being equal to the cold treatment by villagers.

Summary: The second story to ever bring me to tears
Review: The only other was "Little Women". Anyone that has felt the joy and harshness of nature, the love and devotion of a pet, the unconditional love of a parent, and an intense spiritual feeling(in my case a love of Jesus); will be deeply moved by this story. I was literally crying by the last page. This is a timeless story with a message for everyone!

Summary: Thogh I have known this story long time,
Review: Though I have known this story long time for 25 years or so, it was from animation. So it was different from waht I know. Basically it was same and I found the more details but I also foud some conflicts. Johan was 80 years old when Nello was 2 years old. His mother was very old or Johan was very old when he got his daughter. Nello died when he was 15 but animation was much younger. The problem I see is 15 years old boy is old enough to live by himself 100 years ago ( I might be wrong). Anyway setting of age is kinda wrong. By the way I read a book which is published in 1910 not this book. If this book is different, please let me know.
