Five Little Peppers at School by Margaret Sidney, Fiction, Family, Action & Adventure
Buch
The series begins with the Peppers in their native state and develops with their rescue by a wealthy gentleman who takes an interest in the family.

The series begins with the Peppers in their native state and develops with their rescue by a wealthy gentleman who takes an interest in the family. The story of young people's lives is not complete without many and broad glimpses of their school days. It was impossible to devote the space to this recital of the Five Little Peppers' school life, in the books that showed their growing up. The author, therefore, was obliged unwillingly to omit all the daily fun and study and growth, that she, loving them as if they were real children before her eyes, saw in progress. So she packed it all away in her mind, ready to tell to all those young people who also loved the Peppers, when they clamored for more stories about them -- just what Polly and Joel and David did in their merry school days. Ben never got as much schooling as the others, for he insisted on getting into business life as early as possible, in order the sooner to begin to pay Grandpapa King back for all his kindness. But Jasper and Percy and Van joined the Peppers at school and a right merry time they had of it! And now the time seems ripe to accede to all the insistent demands from those who love the Five Little Peppers, that this record of their school days should be given.

Über den Autor
Margaret Sidney was the pseudonym of American writer Harriett Mulford Stone Lothrop (1844 - 1924). In addition to writing popular children's stories, she ran her husband Daniel Lothrop's publishing company after his death. The daughter of New Haven architect, Sidney Mason Stone, she was brought up in an atmosphere of culture and learning enhanced by free access to her father's large library. From early girlhood she delighted in creating imaginary people. She was educated at seminaries near her home and graduated from Miss Dutton's School at Grove Hall in New Haven in 1862. While a student there she displayed such mental alertness, combined with retentive memory and a great imaginative and poetic talent that she was marked for future success. She traveled extensively in the United States, and began creating literary compositions early in life.
