| Summary | "The House That Grew" by Mrs. Molesworth is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a family grappling with financial difficulties and the impending separation of their father, who must travel for work. The main characters, siblings Ida and George (Dods), are determined to support their mother and adapt to the changes in their lives. The opening of the book sets a melancholic tone as the children overhear troubling news from their father, who reveals that their family has lost a significant amount of money. This news not only threatens their stability, but it also means that their father will have to leave them for an extended period to sort out the financial troubles. While the children try to remain strong, their emotions ebb and flow as they deal with feelings of loss and anxiety about the change. Despite the heaviness of the situation, Ida soon has an innovative idea: why not move the entire family to their beloved hut near the sea to maintain a sense of home? This shows the resourcefulness and resilience of the children as they begin to envision a way forward. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
