Summary "Christie's Old Organ: Or Home, Sweet Home" by Mrs. O. F. Walton is a poignant novel likely written in the late 19th century. It centers on the lives of two seemingly forgotten characters—an old man named Treffy and a ragged boy named Christie—who find comfort and companionship amid their struggles. The story explores themes of love, loss, and the search for a sense of belonging, all underscored by the haunting melodies of an old barrel-organ that evokes memories of home and security. The opening of the book introduces readers to the bleak reality of Treffy, who plays his barrel-organ in a dreary lodging house, a reflection of his own loneliness and the neglect he feels from society. As he plays the familiar tune "Home, Sweet Home," a young boy, Christie, is drawn to the sound, reliving memories of his mother. The early chapters depict a growing friendship between the two, as Christie finds solace in Treffy's music while caring for him as Treffy's health declines. These early moments set the stage for an exploration of hope, faith, and the enduring connection between human beings in their darkest hours. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
