| 520 | _a"Wood Cottage : or, Sheltered at last" by M. E. Drewsen is a children''s Christian novel written in the early 20th century. It centers on a lost London girl, Kit, and her devoted cousin Ben, who are taken into the loving home of the Grays at Wood Cottage, where faith, kindness, and everyday trials shape their new life. The story blends homely scenes with moral instruction, following the children’s growth, school challenges, and the gentle influence of charitable neighbors. The opening of Wood Cottage : or, Sheltered at last introduces Kit—newly found by her parents during a Sunday-school outing—and Ben, the poor but steadfast cousin who kept her alive by selling matches. Welcomed into Wood Cottage, they are clothed, fed, and tenderly guided, offering simple prayers, singing hymns, and forming habits of gratitude. Ben starts school, struggles with teasing from Jim Snow, briefly loses his temper, then repents, makes amends, and resolves to be a “brave little soldier” for Jesus. A stormy outing leads to the perambulator’s disappearance—moved by Jim for mischief—only for Ben to recover it and, when Jim is injured, magnanimously wheel his tormentor home. The children also befriend the Craigs; with Mrs. Frankham’s help, the sick son John finds peace in Christ before dying, and the families grow close, even sharing a seaside holiday where Kit’s quick temper briefly flares and is swiftly mended. A year later, Ben is working responsibly, a new baby has arrived, the father is recovering from an accident, and Kit gets into trouble for disobeying about lifting her little brother—ending the excerpt with her tearful prayer for forgiveness.
