E-text prepared by Dave Morgan, Anne Storer, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"The Golden Shoemaker" by J. W. Keyworth is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on a cobbler named "Cobbler" Horn, who faces the impending loss of his wife and the challenges that arise from her illness and eventual death. As he attempts to navigate fatherhood while balancing his work and the complications of a new housemate, Aunt Jemima, Horn's character and resilience shine through in a tale that explores themes of family, sacrifice, and the struggles of everyday life. At the start of the book, we witness the emotional turmoil of "Cobbler" Horn as he manages the last moments with his dying wife while diligently working on a pair of boots, illustrating his dedication to both his profession and his family. As his wife passes away and Aunt Jemima enters their lives to care for Horn’s daughter, Marian, the dynamics shift dramatically in the household. Aunt Jemima imposes strict rules on young Marian, leading to conflict and establishing an oppressive environment that contrasts sharply with Horn's gentle nature and desire to foster his child's spirit. This opening sets the stage for a poignant narrative filled with love, struggle, and the complexities of familial obligations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
