Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Little Washington's Relatives" by Lillian Elizabeth Roy is a children's historical fiction story written in the early 20th century. The book follows the adventurous lives of George and Martha Parke, who are descendants of George Washington, as they interact with their cousins from Philadelphia and engage in imaginative play inspired by historical events surrounding Washington's life and the American Revolution. At the start of the story, the Parke children eagerly await the arrival of their Philadelphia cousins, Jack and Anne. As they reminisce about their past visit and their exciting adventures, they concoct plans to entertain their cousins during their stay. Alongside them is Jim, their playmate, who adds to their mischief and creativity as they decide to reenact significant moments from history, including battles and the wedding of Martha Custis and George Washington. Their playful spirit and enthusiasm set the stage for the children's exploration of their heritage through imaginative play, while also hinting at the historical significance that permeates their lives.
