Description

This collection presents vivid stories of childhood in a New England setting, focusing on young characters who face moral dilemmas shaped by curiosity, pride, and disobedience. Through everyday mischief and moments of self-discovery, each tale explores honesty, temptation, responsibility, and the emotional consequences that accompany growing up.

Author

Mary E. Wilkins Freeman (1852–1930) grew up in Randolph, Massachusetts, and wrote the New England village as if every parlour were a theatre of will. A New England Nun is the famous short weather of a woman who will not be hurried into marriage; Pembroke is the same climate at novel length — pride, church, and a stubbornness that can freeze a town. She later took the Howells Medal. The regional is never small in her hands. Thrift has a pulse.
