About this book
Sam's grand nursery entertainment leaves his twin sister Dot in tears when a model earthquake wrecks their toys. His confinement upstairs coincides with a visit from Aunt Penelope, whose presents and stories make her a welcome family guest. After her first burst of grief, Dot pleads for his pardon and tries to share her raspberry tart with him.
Juliana Horatia Ewing brings childish invention, careless damage and family affection into a book of stories for young readers. Another storytelling scene gathers children on a verandah beneath a harvest moon, where a doctor begins "The Brownies." In that tale, a tired tailor and his elderly mother disagree about whether children are a burden or a blessing. The nursery mishaps and household folklore offer a lively way to consider generosity, responsibility and the small acts that shape family life.
