Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Little Soldiers All" by Eleanora H. Stooke is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. This heartfelt story revolves around a young girl named Josephine, who is sent from India to live with her aunt and uncle in England during World War I. As Josephine adjusts to her new life, she grapples with the absence of her soldier father and the emotional upheaval brought on by the war. The opening of the book introduces Josephine's arrival at the home of her guardians, Miss and Mr. Basset, who are preparing to welcome her. Through their conversations, we learn about the family's gentle nature and their current worries stemming from the war, including their concerns about Josephine’s adaptation to English life. The scene is set for Josephine’s interactions with the Basset family, especially with the twins, May and Donald Rae, as they navigate the challenges posed by war and personal struggles, including Donald’s injury that prevents him from enlisting. The blend of childhood innocence with the looming reality of war provides a poignant backdrop for the unfolding narrative.
