Yarroll and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Story of Silk" by Sara Ware Bassett is an educational narrative written in the early 20th century. The book explores the intricate process of silk production through the experiences of the Bretton family, who live in the fictional village of Bellerivre. The story highlights the roles of Madame Bretton and her children, Marie and Pierre, as they take on the responsibility of silkworm cultivation while their father is away at war. At the start of the novel, we meet the Bretton family in their quaint cottage nestled against the mountains. Madame Bretton anxiously awaits her children, Marie and Pierre, who have gone to gather goats. The narrative quickly establishes a backdrop of rural life amidst wartime sacrifices, where village youth step into adult responsibilities, especially in caring for their silkworms. The Brettons' livelihood hinges on this delicate industry, and readers are introduced to the family dynamics as they navigate the complexities of sericulture, with a focus on caring for the silkworms and their precious mulberry trees. The opening chapters set a tone of resilience and ingenuity, immersing readers in the world of silk production while weaving in historical insights about the tradition and significance of sericulture.
