Summary "Tiverton Tales" by Alice Brown is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The stories delve into life in a quaint New England town, focusing on the everyday experiences and emotional landscapes of its residents, often highlighting themes such as family bonds, personal aspirations, and the subtleties of rural domestic life. The opening portion introduces readers to the charm of Tiverton's dooryards, vividly depicting the characteristics and anecdotes associated with these spaces, as well as the lives of notable characters such as Della Smith, who brings warmth and a yearning for joy to her otherwise mundane life. The opening of "Tiverton Tales" paints a vivid picture of the town's essence through its dooryards, where homely activities and familial connections thrive. It introduces Della Smith, a spirited woman whose joy often overflows in unconventional ways, as she attempts to create a croquet ground from old household items like her mother's bedstead. Here, Della's story encapsulates both the joys and struggles of rural life, as well as her reluctance to succumb to a mundane existence. Alongside her, other characters emerge, each attached to their dooryards, which become reflective of their dreams, desires, and struggles with life's inevitable changes—a theme that invites readers into a world rich with nostalgia and emotional resonance.
