Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The April Baby's Book of Tunes" by Elizabeth Von Arnim is a charming children's book written in the early 20th century. It combines delightful storytelling with illustrations, specifically those by Kate Greenaway. The narrative revolves around the adventures of three little girls named April, May, and June, focusing on their playful experiences and whimsical interactions in their German home, emphasizing themes of family, creativity, and the joys of childhood. The story begins in a winter setting as the sisters find themselves snowed in before Easter, engaging in various playful activities while their mother tries to keep them entertained. In a moment of inspiration, the mother decides to create tunes for popular nursery rhymes, which become a source of excitement and joy for the children. Each rhyme unfolds through delightful storytelling, showcasing the children's innocent banter and imaginations around characters and scenarios like Polly Flinders, Curly Locks, and Mary Quite Contrary. As the narrative progresses, the family’s bonds are strengthened, and the children's playful nature is beautifully captured as they explore their environment and engage in creative play, ultimately celebrating the special relationships within their family.
