Summary: "The Little Girl Lost" by Eleanor Raper is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Nelly Grey, a young English girl born in China, who navigates the complexities of her life within the British Legation in Peking, interacting with both her British friends and local Chinese children. The plot takes a dramatic turn when Nelly and her friend Little Yi find themselves lost and captured, leading to a journey filled with adventure, danger, and the desire for freedom. The opening of the book introduces readers to Nelly and her lively environment as she plays with friends in the Legation compound in Peking. It highlights her bilingual abilities and her close relationships with other children of foreign nationals. However, curiosity leads her and Little Yi to venture outside their safe confines, which subsequently results in their abduction by a Chinese woman wanting to collect a reward for their return. The narrative sets the stage for Nelly's ensuing adventure as she grapples with the challenges of captivity and the hope of an eventual rescue or escape back to her family. The initial chapters effectively blend the charm of childhood friendships with the tension of their precarious situation, drawing readers into the story's unfolding drama.
