Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Seven Little People and their Friends" by Horace Elisha Scudder is a collection of children's stories written in the mid-19th century. The work is centered around the adventures of seven small characters who have lived in the imagination of the author and have spent time exploring fantastical places, meeting various friends along their journey. The themes of exploration, friendship, and the whimsical nature of childhood are likely prominent throughout the narratives. The opening of the book introduces readers to a young girl named Effie who is celebrating her sixth birthday. As she enjoys her porridge on the beach, she encounters a mysterious old man who offers her three wishes, allowing her to embark on magical adventures. Effie's first wish is to explore the ocean's depths, which leads to a series of enchanting events, including her meeting a strange little sea-green man and witnessing wonders beneath the waves. This captivating beginning sets the stage for Effie's journey and hints at the imaginative and moral lessons that are woven through the entire collection.
