The series begins with the Peppers in their native state and develops with their rescue by a wealthy gentleman who takes an interest in the family. The story of young people's lives is not complete without many and broad glimpses of their school days.

Produktbeschreibung
The series begins with the Peppers in their native state and develops with their rescue by a wealthy gentleman who takes an interest in the family. The story of young people's lives is not complete without many and broad glimpses of their school days. It was impossible to devote the space to this recital of the Five Little Peppers' school life, in the books that showed their growing up. The author, therefore, was obliged unwillingly to omit all the daily fun and study and growth, that she, loving them as if they were real children before her eyes, saw in progress. So she packed it all away in her mind, ready to tell to all those young people who also loved the Peppers, when they clamored for more stories about them -- just what Polly and Joel and David did in their merry school days. Ben never got as much schooling as the others, for he insisted on getting into business life as early as possible, in order the sooner to begin to pay Grandpapa King back for all his kindness. But Jasper and Percy and Van joined the Peppers at school and a right merry time they had of it! And now the time seems ripe to accede to all the insistent demands from those who love the Five Little Peppers, that this record of their school days should be given.
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.
