Summary "Top o' the World: A Once Upon a Time Tale" by Mark E. Swan is a children's fantasy novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a young girl named Maida, who is discontent with her childhood and wishes to grow up. Maida's adventures begin when she learns about a magical Wishing Post at the North Pole and embarks on a journey that introduces her to whimsical characters, including an Arctic Explorer and Santa Claus, as she pursues her dream. The opening portion of the story introduces Maida, a curious nine-year-old girl who longs for the freedom and excitement of adulthood. Despite her parents' insistence on the benefits of her childhood, Maida's desire for ice cream and late nights causes her to feel misunderstood. After hearing enchanting tales from a visiting Arctic explorer, she decides to visit the Wishing Post to fulfill her wish. The narrative sets the tone for a delightful journey filled with magical encounters and humor, establishing an engaging atmosphere that promises adventurous and whimsical storytelling.
