Summary "A Little Preserving Book for a Little Girl" by Mrs. Amy Harlow Waterman is a practical manual written in the early 20th century. Tailored for young girls, the book offers simple, engaging instructions on the art of preserving fruits and vegetables through canning and jam-making processes. The narrative centers around a little girl named Adelaide and her eager journey into the world of canning, aiming to create delights for her family, especially her father. At the start of the story, Adelaide excitedly shares her newfound passion for preserving with her friend Jessie May, revealing that she has been inspired by her mother's efforts and a desire to contribute to her family's needs, especially during wartime. The opening introduces readers to their quaint domestic life, where Adelaide takes her first steps in preserving, starting with the process of making orange marmalade. Her enthusiasm shines through as she details her tasks, provides insight into the equipment needed, and shares recipes, setting a tone of creativity and independence that resonates throughout the manual.
