| Summary | "Bessie in the City" by Joanna H. Mathews is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. This charming work follows the adventures of two sisters, Maggie and Bessie Bradford, as they navigate life back at home after a summer at the sea-shore. With themes of family, friendship, and childhood innocence, the story reveals their aspirations and plans, particularly their desire to earn money to help others. The opening of the book introduces us to Maggie and Bessie, who are engaged in a lively conversation after returning from their summer vacation. Maggie expresses a wish to have a significant fault that would elicit concern and support from her loved ones, hinting at their shared ambition to gather money for a mission library. As the narrative unfolds, we see the children's genuine concern for others, their plans to earn money, and their interaction with characters like Mr. Hall, who adds warmth to their story. This beginning sets the stage for a heartwarming tale where the sisters' innocence and kindness are central, inviting readers into their delightful world.
