What a darling little tale! A father makes a promise to his children, and he risks his life to keep it, even to crossing enemy lines to get to them.

I heartily disagree with the prior reviewer who thinks the father being a good soldier and the kids loving him makes it a bit of Southern propaganda. For anyone familiar with Page's work, he wrote books with Union protagonists as well. It was simply necessary to the conflict of the story that the father be Southern, and no one can deny that there were good, upright men on both sides of the fighting.
