His New Mittens - Short Story

As Horace walks home from school, his hands ensconced in a pair of new red mittens, boys from the neighbourhood entice him into a snowball fight. There's just one problem-his mother has told him to come home straight away, and to keep his mittens dry. Horace retreats before a chorus of teasing, but he cannot quite bring himself to leave the scene of battle. "His New Mittens" is a heartwarming and hilarious story about mothers and sons and "all the traditions of boyhood."HarperPerennial Classics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.
