| Summary | "The Old Market-Cart" by Mrs. F. Burge Griswold is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces young protagonist Sally Reed and her family, focusing on their interactions with Gill, a devoted farmer who manages the land and nurtures the children’s connection to nature and knowledge. The book paints a vivid picture of rural life, emphasizing the simple joys and moral lessons found in everyday experiences. The opening of "The Old Market-Cart" sets the stage in a rustic farmyard where Sally Reed delights in her make-believe world, using an old market cart as her playhouse. Meanwhile, Gill, the farmer, is shown as a kind educator who shares his knowledge of plants and farming with Sally and her brother, Ben. As they engage in learning about the nature around them, we see the bond between the children and Gill deepen through shared activities in the garden and farm, characterized by playful banter and tender moments, indicating the importance of love, family, and hard work in their lives.
