| Summary | "Bertie and the Gardeners; or, The Way to be Happy" by Madeline Leslie is a children's novel written during the late 19th century. The book revolves around a young boy named Bertie Curtis and delves into themes of kindness, responsibility, and the importance of helping others. Through various interactions with the gardeners, workmen, and townspeople, Bertie learns valuable life lessons about compassion and the joy of making others happy. The story follows Bertie as he navigates his new life at Woodlawn, where his family has moved to improve their home and surroundings. As he engages with the gardeners and the community, Bertie witnesses the struggles and triumphs of those around him, including the sick painter Mr. Dodge and the troubled boy Pat. The narrative is presented in a series of episodes that highlight Bertie's growth as he takes on responsibilities, helps individuals in need, and learns the rewards of generosity and kindness. Ultimately, the book conveys a message that true happiness stems from selflessness and caring for others, encouraging young readers to embody these virtues in their own lives.
