| Summary |
"Little Greta of Denmark" by Bernadine Bailey is a children's novel written in the late 1930s. The story centers around a young girl named Greta who lives on a large farm in Denmark and is particularly fond of her four kittens and her dog, Chouse. As Greta embarks on a search for her missing kittens, the narrative blends themes of childhood adventure, the importance of companionship, and elements of Danish folklore, providing readers with a charming insight into life in Denmark. The opening portion of the story introduces readers to Greta, who starts her day with enthusiasm and a desire to grow tall like the queen she was named after. However, her happy morning quickly turns to distress when she discovers her beloved kittens are missing from their straw bed in the barn. As she navigates the turmoil of possibly losing both her kittens and her family dog, Chouse, the narrative unfolds to explore Greta's day at school, her interactions with her brother Hans, and her imaginative worries about Danish fairy folk known as Nisser. This sets the stage for a heartwarming exploration of friendship, loyalty, and the magic of childhood imagination as Greta embarks on her journey to find her lost pets.
