Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Little Colonel in Arizona" by Annie F. Johnston is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the Ware family, particularly the spirited young Mary Ware, as they relocate from Kansas to Arizona in search of a better life for Mary’s ailing mother. This transition to a new home filled with adventures and challenges provides a rich backdrop for exploring themes of family, resilience, and the charm of childhood innocence." "At the start of the book, the Ware family is introduced while they travel on a train to Arizona, where they will live in a boarding camp for invalids, Lee's Ranch. Young Mary quickly becomes an engaging character, captivating fellow travelers with her chatter about her family's move and their past home. She eagerly looks forward to living in a tent and embarking on new adventures, while her older siblings exhibit more apprehension and embarrassment, particularly concerning her outspoken nature. The family's dynamic is highlighted through the interactions between the siblings and their new acquaintances, setting the stage for further developments as they settle into their new desert life."
