A companion to his verse anthology Child Life, this collection gathers prose stories and sketches about children from widely separated countries and periods. Hawthorne’s Little Annie’s Ramble sits beside a tale of the baby of a regiment, Prudy Parlin, Mrs. Walker’s Betsey, a rainbow pilgrimage, and a small girl puzzling over her brother’s death with a chrysalis in her hand.
