Little Folks (October 1884) by Various
"Little Folks" by Various is a collection of stories and articles aimed at young readers, written in the late 19th century. The volume includes various narratives and themes meant to entertain and educate children, focusing on morals, adventures, and imaginative tales. Through engaging characters like the Scottish lassie Elsie, the collection explores the challenges faced by children and the lessons learned through their experiences. The opening of the work introduces Elsie, whois feeling frightened and isolated after running away from home with her younger brother, Duncan. In their new, uncomfortable surroundings, Elsie realizes the gravity of her decision as Duncan falls ill, suffering from fever and despair. As she grapples with guilt and helplessness, she encounters a girl who may offer friendship and assistance, raising questions about trust and misunderstanding. This portion vividly sets the stage for Elsie's journey toward self-discovery and redemption amidst the stark realities of her circumstances. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
