E-text prepared by Stephen Schulze and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreaders Team "Mary at the Farm and Book of Recipes Compiled During Her Visit Among the Pennsylvania Germans" by Edith M. Thomas is a semi-autobiographical collection written during the early 20th century. The narrative focuses on the character Mary Midleton, who visits her relatives on a Pennsylvania farm, where she learns about domestic life, cooking, and homemaking while exploring themes of family, tradition, and the significance of women’s roles in the household. At the start of the book, Mary Midleton receives a letter from her Uncle John, inviting her to spend the summer at Clear Spring Farm. Her arrival is met with enthusiasm as Aunt Sarah, her great-aunt, prepares an array of delicious foods in anticipation of her visit. The opening chapters establish the warm dynamics of the family, with Aunt Sarah depicted as a dedicated homemaker who exemplifies traditional values and practical wisdom. The narrative also hints at themes of women’s suffrage through Mary’s conversations with Aunt Sarah, setting the stage for her journey of personal growth and learning about the balance between domestic duties and broader societal roles.
