About This Book

The narrative follows four sisters who, after family misfortune and limited means, leave a cramped tenement to settle in an old house in a small town. The eldest shoulders household responsibilities while the younger girls explore the garden and neighborhood, make new acquaintances, and become involved in a series of mild mysteries—vanishing kittens, odd noises, and a rumored ghost—that draw in neighbors and local curiosity. Episodes combine domestic economy, youthful adventure, and community life, and the sisters grow through practical cooperation, increased confidence, and the gradual resolution of local puzzles.
