| Summary | "Our Little Polish Cousin" by Florence Emma Voigt Mendel is a children's fiction book written in the early 20th century. It is part of the "Little Cousin" series, which introduces young readers to the customs and lives of children from different cultures. The story revolves around Jan Teczynski, a young Polish boy, and his experiences during the Christmas season as he interacts with his family and the festive traditions of Poland. At the start of the narrative, the characters are introduced through Jan's journey to his grandfather's country home, the dwór, amidst a heavy snowfall. As his family arrives, the stage is set for a joyful reunion filled with love and warmth typical of the Christmas spirit. We are given a glimpse into Polish culture through their customs, including the significance of Christmas Eve, traditional meals, and the rituals surrounding the oplatki, a special wafer shared among family members. The opening chapters establish a festive atmosphere while hinting at the deeper cultural heritage and broader socio-economic issues faced by Polish families, setting the tone for Jan's adventures and insights into life in Poland.
