About This Book

A circle of young Camp Fire Girls spend a summer together at a rural farmhouse, sharing chores, schemes, and outdoor adventures. They tend a vegetable garden to earn money, welcome several friends as spontaneous boarders, and give the house a playful name while planning amusements. Episodes range from humorous household mishaps and bold escapades—chasing a runaway bull and treating a poisoned cocker spaniel—to quieter discoveries among the garden beds and an odd combination desk in the sitting room. The narrative centers on camaraderie, practical resourcefulness, and the lively pleasures of country life for an energetic girls’ group.
