Teddy's Button
By Amy Le Feuvre
Published by The Religious Tract Society: London c1900 (undated)
"Teddy's Button by Amy Le Feuvre is a late 19th-century children's novel that uses a simple but engaging story to convey a strong Christian moral message. It follows Teddy, a lively and well-meaning boy whose most treasured possession is a brass button from his late father's military uniform. Proud of his father's service, Teddy dreams of being a soldier himself, though his adventurous spirit often leads to mischief and quarrels. When a misunderstanding over the button sparks a feud with another child, Teddy is confronted with the realisation that the greatest battles are not fought with weapons, but within one's own heart.
Guided by wise adults and inspired by biblical teaching, Teddy learns about the concept of becoming a "soldier of Christ" — fighting against pride, selfishness, and wrongdoing. The novel blends humour, warmth, and moments of pathos, making its moral lessons accessible to young readers while also appealing to adults. As one of Amy Le Feuvre's most enduring works for the Religious Tract Society, Teddy's Button remains notable for its gentle evangelistic tone and its skill in turning everyday childhood experiences into lessons in faith, character, and moral courage."
