| Summary |
"Peggy in Her Blue Frock" by Eliza Orne White is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around young Peggy and her experiences and adventures as she navigates her world after a significant family change due to her father's death in the war. Peggy's vibrant personality and her relationships with her loving yet pragmatic mother and her younger sister, Alice, form the backbone of this touching and whimsical narrative. The opening of the book introduces us to Peggy's lively character, as she enthusiastically helps her family pack for a move from their old home. Through her interactions with her grandmother, mother, and sister, we discover the complexities of loss and transition in a child's life. Peggy's vivid imagination shines as she envisions the new family moving into their old house and focuses on her love for nature, her pets, and her yearning for companionship. The narrative sets a warm, nostalgic tone that invites readers to not only engage with Peggy’s adventures but also her introspective thoughts on family, friendship, and the bittersweet nature of growing up.
