Summary "Dorothy at Skyrie" by Evelyn Raymond is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the adventures of Dorothy Chester, a young girl who has recently returned to live with her adoptive parents in the picturesque countryside. The narrative introduces her interactions with various local characters, especially the boisterous Babcock sisters, as she navigates her new life and uncovers the secrets of her beautiful yet mysterious surroundings. At the start of the novel, Dorothy is gathering wild strawberries when she is unexpectedly visited by three lively Babcock sisters who have come to spend time with her. The eldest sister, Alfaretta, is brimming with confidence and curiosity about Dorothy's different upbringing, introducing playful banter and an exploration of their backgrounds. As they collect berries, Dorothy shares her past, including her kidnapping and eventual adoption, fostering a budding friendship with Alfaretta, who eagerly recounts local stories, including that of a haunted gold mine. The opening sets the stage for their lively dynamics and hints at the unfolding adventures and challenges awaiting Dorothy at Skyrie, blending themes of friendship, childhood innocence, and the search for belonging.
