Excerpt from Four Little Blossoms at Brookside Farm

Meg!"

The little girl curled up in the window-seat did not move.

"Meg, you know Mother said we were to go before four o'clock, and it's half-past three now. You'll wait till the twins come in, and then they'll want to go, too." Bobby Blossom looked anxiously at his sister.

Meg put down her book and untangled her feet from the window cushions.

"I'm coming," she promised. "I never do get a chapter all read, Bobby. Where's my hat? I see it. I'll get it!"

Meg's hat was on the lawn outside where she had dropped it, and now she raised the screen and tumbled through the window to the ground.

Reviews

[Rebecca]

This reads like a more intelligent Bobsey Twins novel - the kids are believably childlike, their adventures relatable, and each child has their own distinct personality. In the realm of "too cute early 20th century fiction," this sits at the top of the heap.

One of my favourite childhood reads! Charming, entertaining, and wholesome with an interesting feeling of the times that it was published in. A great book!
