Publisher's Synopsis
 
This story, one of the loveliest in the New Testament, is always a favourite with children;  so easily can they identify themselves with that long - ago little boy and feel with him the awe and delight of being near to Jesus and actually helping him. Vividly, Enid Blyton presents us with a picture of the little family of the boy with the loaves and fishes,  his excitement at hearing that the great miracle - worker was coming to the hills,  his delight at going off for the day with the food in his basket, to hear and see this wonderful man. That small boy lives again for our own children, and through his eyes they can see clearly the shining figure preaching on the sunny hillside.  He becomes real, and in their minds the same so it will  predominate:  "I wish I'd been there".  There is no writer who has the entry to a child's heart and mind more surely than Enid Blyton; thus it is fitting that she should tell this beautiful old tale in simple and lovely language,  making it unforgettable to any reader.
