520 _a"Mother's golden guineas" by Annette Lyster is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. It centers on spirited village boy Tom Adderley, whose hunger for adventure clashes with family duty and Christian conscience as he leaves his Yorkshire home, goes to sea, and finds his character tested by hardship, authority, and the hope of repaying his mother's treasured savings. The opening of the novel paints the close-knit, tradition-bound village of Burdeck and the thrifty Adderley household, especially the mother’s carefully hoarded guineas. Restless Tom quarrels over wages, briefly tries the forge, and—fired by the tales of wanderer Jeremiah Dwight—slips away at night with his mother’s money, reaches Liverpool, and ships out as a boy on a West India trader. Years later, as he returns prosperously, he is pressed into a Royal Navy frigate, loses his kit and savings during a boat scuffle, and grows sullen until kindly sailor Gideon Terlizzeck counsels him and reads the Prodigal Son. After Tom deserts at Port Royal and is recaptured, Gideon pleads for him; the captain spares flogging, Tom vows to do his duty, and the ship heads back to sea, setting the stage for his reform and future trials.
