| Summary |
"Kittens: A Family Chronicle" by Svend Fleuron is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows the life of a mother cat named Grey Puss and her six kittens as they navigate the challenges of survival in a rural setting, highlighting their adventures and encounters with various animals and the perils of their environment. The opening of the book introduces Grey Puss as she stealthily makes her way from a farm to her hidden nest, where she cares for her kittens in the safety of a hollow willow stump. As the story unfolds, we see the kittens' personalities beginning to emerge, each exhibiting distinct traits. Grey Puss's past as a once-loved pet contrasts sharply with her present existence, where she must adapt to the harsh realities of life in the wild. The narrative sets the stage for their struggles against nature and the various obstacles they will face, creating a vivid and engaging introduction to the family's journey.
