Our Curate's Budget, edited by W. Michell, is a collection of moral and religious tales designed for parish work and Lent readings, published during the late Victorian period. This volume features interconnected didactic stories set in English villages and coastal towns, including titles such as "Stormy Day Has Bright To-Morrow," "Better Days," "Quite a Low Boy," "Green House vs Green Man," "Ragged Robin," "Hasty Wooing," "Bitter Ruing," "A Long Watch," "Millicent's Wedding," "Widow Tom," and "Peace on Earth." Each story dramatizes Christian virtues like temperance, forgiveness, self-denial, charity, and reconciliation through everyday moral dilemmas. Characters such as Ned Hillier, Mrs. Parkinson, the Vicar, Miss Clare, and Millicent's marriage arc illustrate how faith influences choices in poverty, social judgment, family life, and community service. The editor skillfully weaves scriptural reflections with practical reform, encouraging readers to trust God, practice mercy, and integrate faith with daily work, worship, and neighbourly duty. This collection serves as a catechetical anthology for families and parish schools, aiming to cultivate virtue and hope through storytelling.
