Produktbeschreibung
The little old kitchen had quieted down from the bustle and confusion of mid-day; and now, with its afternoon manners on, presented a holiday aspect, that as the principal room in the brown house, it was eminently proper it should have. It was just on the edge of the twilight; and the little Peppers, all except Ben, the oldest of the flock, were enjoying a "breathing spell," as their mother called it, which meant some quiet work suitable for the hour. All the "breathing spell" they could remember however, poor things; for times were always hard with them nowadays; and since the father died, when Phronsie was a baby, Mrs. Pepper had had hard work to scrape together money enough to put bread into her children's mouths, and to pay the rent of the little brown house.
Autorenporträt
Harriett Lothrop (June 22, 1844 - August 2, 1924) was an American author who also went by the pen name Margaret Sidney. She ran her husband Daniel Lothrop's publishing company following his death, in addition to producing popular children's novels. They worked hard after purchasing The Wayside country house to make it a hub of literary activity. Harriett Mulford Stone was born in 1844 in New Haven, Connecticut. She was "brought up in an atmosphere of culture and learning enhanced by free access to her father's large library," according to her father, New Haven architect Sidney Mason Stone. She attended nearby seminaries and graduated from Miss Dutton's School at Grove Hall in New Haven in 1862.
