Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Very Small Person" by Annie Hamilton Donnell is a children's fiction tale written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Miss Salome and her unexpected encounters with a lively young boy, fondly referred to as the Little Blue Overalls, who brings a whirlwind of adventures and playfulness into her otherwise solitary life. The narrative explores themes of companionship, childhood imagination, and the gentle complexities of human connections. The opening of the story introduces Miss Salome as she writes a letter, expressing her dissatisfaction about living next to a family with several children, a situation she finds bothersome. Shortly after, she meets the Little Blue Overalls, who bursts into her life with exuberance, humor, and a playful spirit. Their interaction starts off whimsically as he poses as a "wayman," capturing her attention and gradually leading Miss Salome to lower her defenses against the joys of childhood. The dynamic between the reserved Miss Salome and the infectious energy of the Little Blue Overalls sets the stage for a series of delightful events, promising an engaging tale filled with warmth and charm.
