About This Book

A lively series of domestic episodes follows a group of siblings and their playful companions during a summer of household mischief, outdoor adventures, and short journeys. Episodes move from nursery pranks and garret games to garden picnics, a fairy feast, seaside sails, a farm visit, and holiday celebrations, highlighting everyday pleasures, animal friends, and family rituals. Narration emphasizes children's imaginations, affectionate caregiving, picnic and boating scenes, and small moral lessons, culminating in a seaside voyage and a sentimental farewell to the familiar old house.

All radiant, as others have done,
But that life may have just enough shadow
To temper the glare of the sun.”
