Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Christopher Hibbault, Roadmaker" by Marguerite Bryant is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a young boy named Christopher Hibbault, who is living in a workhouse after the death of his mother. As the narrative unfolds, Christopher's life unexpectedly changes when he encounters a kind gentleman, Mr. Aston, who takes a particular interest in him. The book explores themes of transformation, hope, and the quest for belonging as Christopher navigates his new relationship with Mr. Aston and his son, Aymer. At the start of the novel, we meet Christopher, a small boy waiting by a mile-stone on the Great Road, dreaming of escape to London in search of a better life. He has a longing for freedom, shaped by memories of his mother and the harsh realities of his past. As he loiters near the road, a carriage carrying Mr. Aston and his groom approaches. Aston, intrigued by the boy's presence, stops to ask about him and discovers Christopher’s full name. This chance meeting sets off a series of events that will change Christopher's life forever, as he finds himself being driven away from the workhouse and into a world that offers the possibility of family and a brighter future. The opening portion establishes the foundation for Christopher's journey from an uncertain and lonely existence towards a life filled with unexpected opportunities.
