A story about the boy Jancsi who lives with his mother and father, the "Good Master" on a farm in Hungary; about his cousin Kate who comes from the city to live with them, and whose headstrong ways and tempers are set right by the kindly understanding of the Good Master; about Kate's and Jancsi's races on horseback across the plains, their fun at the fair, their trouble with the gypsies; about the shepherd who made wood carvings, and whose tales kept the children listening till sundown—a colorful story of the customs and people of the great Hungarian plains.

*For boys and girls from 8 to 12
