Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Marjorie's Vacation" by Carolyn Wells is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story follows the adventures of Marjorie Maynard, a lively twelve-year-old girl as she spends her summer vacation at her grandmother's farm, experiencing both the joys of rural life and the challenges that come with it. The opening of "Marjorie's Vacation" introduces Marjorie as she prepares to leave her cozy home in Rockwell to spend three months at Grandma Sherwood's farm. The narrative presents Marjorie's loving and playful relationship with her siblings—Kingdon, Kitty, and Rosamond—highlighted by their bond and the bittersweet feelings surrounding her departure. Marjorie's excitement is palpable as she imagines the fun and exploration awaiting her, but there's also a hint of melancholy as she bids farewell to her home life, encapsulated through family dynamics and affectionate gifts from her siblings. The foundation is set for a summer filled with new experiences as Marjorie embarks on her journey, joining her grandmother and discovering the wonders and potential mischief of farm life.
