Meg and Robin, orphaned twins living with a hard aunt on an Illinois farm, read The Pilgrim’s Progress in the hayloft and dream of a City Beautiful. When they hear of the great World’s Columbian Exposition rising in Chicago, they save every penny and set out to see it for themselves, alone and with little idea of what awaits them.
