| Summary |
"At the Little Brown House" by Ruth Alberta Brown is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the lives of the Greenfield sisters, particularly the imaginative and spirited Peace, as they navigate everyday adventures and challenges in their small village. The book likely explores themes of family, creativity, and the simple joys of childhood. The opening of the novel introduces readers to a lively June morning in Parker, where the Greenfield sisters—Peace, Cherry, and Allee—plot a secret early-morning escapade to gather flowers for a special event. Their excitement is palpable as they tiptoe past their older sister, Gail, who they fear might prevent their adventure. The sisters' playful antics are complemented by their encounter with a mysterious tramp, who becomes involved in their lives after offering to work in exchange for breakfast. The scene captures both the innocence of childhood and the warmth of family dynamics, setting the stage for the charming, heartwarming stories that unfold throughout the narrative.
