Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"All Aboard: A Story for Girls" by Fannie E. Newberry is a fictional novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around twin sisters named Faith and Hope, who are embarking on a significant journey with their father, Captain Hosmer, as he takes them on a voyage aboard the steamship “International.” The book seems to discuss themes of family, adventure, and the excitement of travel, particularly through the experiences of young women in a period that may have limited their autonomy. At the start of the story, the twins are introduced through their interactions with their kind-hearted guardian, Debby, who has cared for them since infancy. As they prepare to leave their home and set sail with their father, readers witness poignant moments of goodbye, the contrasting personalities of the twins, and their eagerness for adventure. The narrative captures the twins' lively banter and excitement, alongside the subtly complex emotions surrounding leaving home and their close bond with Debby. The beginning sets a tone of youthful curiosity and an exploration of familial relationships against the backdrop of a sea voyage, promising an enchanting adventure as they encounter new lands and people.
