Summary "A Flight with the Swallows; Or, Little Dorothy's Dream" by Emma Marshall is a children's novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a little girl named Dorothy who, feeling isolated in her quiet English life, embarks on a dream journey inspired by the swallows who fly south for the winter. The narrative explores themes of companionship, childhood wonder, and the yearning for adventure as Dorothy is soon drawn into a real journey to Italy alongside her mother, where new friendships and challenges await. The opening portion introduces Dorothy as an imaginative child who longs for connection beyond her quiet life with her mother and pets. Her daydreams about flying with the swallows lead to a conversation overheard between her mother and Dr. Bell, suggesting a trip to San Remo for her mother’s health. When Dorothy's uncle suggests she will have playmates in Italy, she expresses reluctance to leave her familiar comforts. After a series of warm interactions, the stage is set for Dorothy's adventure, exploring her feelings of attachment and reluctance toward change as she prepares for departure. The narrative captures the innocence and complexity of childhood emotions while hinting at the transformative experiences that lie ahead. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
