He’s leaving London, Andy is. No father, no mother, no siblings. Nothing to tie him in “Lunnon” no more. But he’s coming back one day, when he’s old enough to join the Force, and Andy will be the Traffic King all the children already see him as.

Good things follow Andy’s adventure out of London. His paths cross with John, a real gent whose just come into his inheritance. And things seem good as gold when Andy becomes his “‘andyman.”

Then, something terrible happens right under his nose! In dejected spirits, Andy looks to leave all things good behind.

Will Andy cling to stung pride and abject hopes, or will God give him an opportunity to become a hero?

The Village Hero by Amy LeFeuvre is a delightful story! If you’ve enjoyed any other book by Amy LeFeuvre, this one will not disappoint you!

It is a trifle hard to read, for Andy does not speak well. ‘E ‘as ‘is Lunnon ways! However, the plot is exciting and the characters endearing.

The story has its paradoxes and trials of life, do bout. But, Andy sails through them; and when the water is too rough even for his buoyant spirit, it is God who puts wind in his sails again.

Andy is full of life, energy, and goodwill. He is rarely still and loves to serve others, even to the point of over zealous affection. At times, his cheeky speech (all truths, mind you) made my eyes bulge and caused a gasp to escape. Other times, I laughed outright.

The peaceful English countryside is an ideal place for Andy and John’s cottage. We are invited into the setting gently, compelled to stay for the intrigue of it, and captured by the adventures which take place in those mundane settings.

Themes of humility, storing treasures in heaven, loving and knowing God – among others – are twined into this straightforward tale. And it ends quite happily on all accounts.

I’m raising a Hallelu Yah! Thank You, God our Father, for coming to dwell within us by the Holy Spirit! You dwell in “a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite” (Isaiah 57:15). Praise our God!

Andy’s zeal inspires us.
His loyalty encourages us.
His high aspiration challenges us.

Pick up the book and meet the village hero, who’s really a gent’s ‘Andy man!
