Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Little Wideawake: A Story Book for Little Children" by Mrs. Sale Barker is a children's storybook written in the late 19th century. With an engaging narrative style, the book introduces various young characters, such as Rosie and Maurice, who embark on delightful adventures and encounters, primarily revolving around themes of childhood innocence, friendship, and the wonders of imagination. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Rosie, a lively girl full of mischief and spirit, and her brother Frank, who eagerly engage in playful snowball fights. Their adventure unfolds as they wait for their older brother Charlie to arrive by train, leading to moments of both excitement and fright for the narrator, who is tasked with keeping the children safe. The chapter transitions into an introduction to Maurice, a five-and-a-half-year-old boy who becomes enamored with a special wooden horse named Cressida, gifted to him by an elderly mechanician. The opening portion effectively establishes the whimsical tone of the book, promising readers delightful tales filled with charm, danger, and the innocence of childhood.
