The Mornin'-Glory Girl

A series of episodic, gently comic tales set in a close-knit rural community follows a lively foster child, Betty, her mischievous companion Moses, and the hospitable but plainspoken Wopp household. Everyday events — schooldays, wash-day, dances, church services that erupt into comic mishaps, visits to vaudeville and the circus, and domestic projects like an autograph quilt — provide a parade of small adventures and setbacks. Recurring motifs include neighborly hospitality, rustic customs, animal antics, and childlike imagination, while the tone balances affection and broad humor as characters cope with embarrassments, illness, and social occasions.
