Frances Hodgson Burnett 
Seth 

"Seth" is a deeply moving short story by Frances Hodgson Burnett, the author of many beloved childhood classics, including Little Lord Fauntleroy, The Secret Garden and A Little Princess. A young Englishman walks into a down-on-its-luck Tennessee mining town, and at first the locals are reluctant to accept him. But before long, Seth’s selflessness has made him an important part of the community.
