Summary "Hildegarde's Neighbors" by Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards is a delightful children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Hildegarde Grahame, a young girl who is excited about the arrival of new neighbors, the Merryweather family, next door. With a cast of endearing characters, including Hildegarde’s mother and her eccentric friend Colonel Ferrers, the narrative explores themes of friendship, curiosity, and the adventures that unfold as Hildegarde interacts with the lively Merryweather children. The opening of the novel introduces Hildegarde's joyous anticipation as she shares the news of the new family moving in next door with her mother, leading to a series of amusing and lighthearted exchanges. Hildegarde describes her first glimpse of the Merryweathers, including their amusingly named children, such as Obadiah and Toots. As the story unfolds, Hildegarde's keen observations reveal her eagerness to connect with her new neighbors, and her excitement hints at the friendships and adventures that await. The narrative sets the stage for a rich exploration of community and companionship as Hildegarde forms bonds with the Merryweather siblings, promising readers a charming tale full of youthful exuberance and the joys of neighborly relations.
