The Brave Heart (Franz Hoffmann)

The Brave Heart

Leo Bertram will protect his mother’s honor, as well as her few possessions, at all costs-even if it means leaving the comforts of home to face the unknown perils of the fierce Arctic. Treacherous seas and ominous storms are not enough to keep him from this dangerous pursuit. But little does he know just how risky it will be!

The Brave Heart was first published in 1880.  Like all Lamplighter Rare Collector’s volumes, the cover is a facsimile of those original 19th century editions.

Other Stories by Lamplighter author Franz Hoffman include:

• Buried in the Snow
• The Gold-Seeker’s Chasm
• Under the Earth
• The Grinder’s Apprenctice
• Walty and the Great Geyer

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.
