The Money Moon

A heartwarming, enjoyable tale of an American billionaire from 1911 who is jilted by his lady-love and is advised by his valet to go find solace in travel. Pretty soon he's off on a lark, proving to himself his hurt hadn't gone too deep, but since he's enjoying his unorthodox lark, he keeps at it. Fairly soon he runs across Georgy, a small lad running away from home to work in Africa to find treasure for his aunt.

When George adopts the youngster as an honorary nephew, he finds himself sticking near and loving the beautiful old home that the fair Anthea—the aunt in trouble—has been forced to mortgage by hard times. Here he lingers, soaking in the Arcadia he has found, working hard and resting hard, helping out around the place. But trouble is looming near, and Mr. Cassilis is determined to gain both house and fair lady, thought he would content himself with one if he couldn't gain both. Can George foil the plans and win the lady's heart?

Not quite five stars, because of repeated cursing and a quick visit to a fortune teller. Otherwise excellent.
