A Peep Behind the Scenes

A Peep Behind the Scenes is by Mrs. O.F. Walton. This book was published in 1877 and sold over two and a half million copies at that time. It is a classic historical fiction book written from the Christian perspective. Rosalie dances in a traveling circus, everyone who sees her thinks her life must be wonderful - but is it? One day an old man gives her a picture of a Shepherd who loves her and as she tries to find a better life she shares the Shepherd's love with others. An extremely touching story, it will be especially meaningful to Christians - but it is a fantastic read for anyone. They truly don't write books like this anymore.

Ratings: 6th grade - 10 out of 10.
