About this book
Family reunions and school holidays lead into a visit to Chicago's 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Martha Finley's children's novel. Captain Raymond and his family sail to Annapolis for the Naval Academy commencement and bring Max home for his long holiday. His delight in familiar rooms, his pony and the company of his siblings establishes the affectionate household at the center of the story.
At the fair, the young visitors admire the Court of Honor, illuminated fountains and rainbow-colored sprays. Their pleasure also brings ordinary family decisions: Grace needs rest, while Lucilla wants permission to join an evening outing. Descriptions of the White City sit alongside conversations about obedience, consideration and gratitude.
