Five Little Peppers and How They Grew
Margaret Sidney's 1881 children's classic, here as a LibriVox recording in twenty-five chapters. Mrs. Pepper — Mamsie — is a widow raising five children in the little brown house on next to nothing, and the Peppers make their own happiness out of what they have: Polly's cooking and contriving, Ben's work, Joel and Davie's scrapes, and small Phronsie, who is everybody's favourite. Birthdays are engineered out of nothing, illness and hard days come, and then the Peppers fall in with Jasper and his father, which changes the family's fortunes and opens the way to schooling none of them expected.
