Auguste is mute, an orphan and an outcast in a small French village, until an aged, retired master teaches him the art of mime. Auguste learns to express himself through mime, and the other children are attracted to his natural talent, but the adults are still cruel to him. This is a sweet, tender story, very sentimental but effective and touching. There are two sequels to this book, Far in the Day and The Silent Voice.
