The Locked Cupboard (Amy Le Feuvre)

The Locked Cupboard

The four Dane sisters must leave the home in which they have been raised. Though their cousin secretly convinces his aunt to revise her will shortly before her death, they will not leave empty-handed! Aunt Mildred has provided a modest annual stipend for each sister and their godly nurse Nannie gives each sister a special verse from Psalm 37.

Only a small country home is within their means, so Gwen finds the perfect little cottage for them. But the owner imposes one mysterious condition: a beautifully carved cupboard in his study must never be opened by the new tenants!

What secret hides within the carved cupboard? Will Nannie’s scripture provide the key to unlock it? As you discover the answers to these questions, you will also learn key lessons with Agatha, Gwen, Clare and Elfie: to commit your way to the Lord, and to trust and rest and delight in Him.

About the Lamplighter Rare Collector’s Series

Lamplighter stories are much more than good and wholesome reading for the family.  The inspiring role models found in Lamplighter books show a child that outward compliance alone will not carry a child through the stresses and disappointments soon to be faced in adolescence and adulthood, nor are they a substitute for faith in Christ.  As we learn of perseverance, courage, loyalty, humility, these are qualities to emulate and pursue, but as children read in stories of others like them trying their best and falling short, they will powerfully learn their need for the gospel.  Though life is often not easy, we can be confident that each disappointment and trial is designed by a loving God for our good.

Lamplighter books are carefully designed to draw children back to the Bible, to ensure that each story reflects the character of God.  Often, key Scriptures are referenced so that they may be stored in a child’s heart. Lamplighter volumes are recognizable right away by their beautiful, high-quality bindings.  But the other unique feature of a Lamplighter book, in contrast to other publications of the same title, is that the Lamplighter editions have been enhanced with helpful footnotes and woven with threads of Biblical truths that will be etched into an awakened moral conscience. These characteristics are what make our Lamplighter Collection so unique and highly valued.
