Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"A Dear Little Girl" by Amy Ella Blanchard is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows the adventures of an eight-year-old girl named Edna Conway, who faces various challenges as she moves to live with her Aunt Elizabeth in the city while her parents are away for health reasons. The narrative explores themes of childhood innocence, familial love, and the importance of kindness as Edna navigates her new surroundings, friendships, and the experience of giving. The opening portion of the book introduces the reader to Edna's feelings about being sent away from home and the excitement mixed with apprehension she faces. We see her family discussing the move, with Edna's mother expressing concern about her being too young, while her father reassures them that she will be well cared for by Aunt Elizabeth and her cousin Louis. As Edna prepares for this new adventure, we witness her natural curiosity and joyful spirit as she interacts with her surroundings. However, their journey takes a sudden turn with an accident on the train, setting the stage for the trials and tribulations that will develop Edna's character and relationships throughout the rest of the story.
