520 _a"Little King Davie : or, "Kings and priests unto God" by Nellie Hellis" is a children’s religious novella written in the late 19th century, during the Victorian era. The book follows a poor London crossing-sweeper whose brush with tragedy becomes the path to faith, dignity, and service, embodying the theme that even the lowliest can be “kings and priests unto God.” Davie Scott, a small, underfed boy with a loving mother and a harsh past, earns coppers sweeping streets until a sermon about “kings and priests unto God” stirs him. Rushing to meet the preacher, he is run over and taken to hospital, where his sweetness and remarkable singing comfort other patients and earn him the name “King Davie.” With the practical kindness of Dr. Scott and Lady Cloudesley, and the gospel counsel of the visiting preacher, Mr. Kilmarnock, Davie finds faith and slowly recovers. A convalescent stay and improved home life follow; he becomes a church chorister and attends school through Lady Cloudesley’s help, then later moves with his family to a cathedral town under Mr. Kilmarnock’s care. There, healthier and joyful, Davie sings and serves, his quiet fidelity strengthening his mother’s faith, and the tale closes with the hope that his “kingly” service will endure beyond this life.
