The Children's Pilgrimage is about two children left destitute who are on their way to the 'celestial city' as some call it. When their stepmother is dying she secretly gives them her money and tells them to go to her daughter in a far off land. An excerpt reads, ôCecile now knew what she had before her. She, Maurice, and Toby had just a month to prepare--just a month to get ready for the great task of Cecile's life. At the end of a month they must set forth--three pilgrims without a guide. Cecile felt that it was a pity this long journey which they must take in secret should begin in the winter. Had she the power of choice, she would have put off so weary a pilgrimage until the days were long and the weather mild. But there was no choice in the matter now; just when the days were shortest and worst, just at Christmas time, they must set out.ö
