(Reginald Bathurst) Birch, Reginald Bathhurst Two Little Pilgrims' Progress: A Story of the City Beautiful Stephen Hutcheson, Dave Morgan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Two Little Pilgrims' Progress: A Story of the City Beautiful" by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book follows the experiences of two orphaned twins, Meg and Robin, who find solace and hope in their secret hideaway, the Straw Parlor, as they dream of a brighter life away from their oppressive home under their neglectful Aunt Matilda. Their yearning for adventure and learning intensifies when they hear about the upcoming World's Fair, sparking a determination to independently journey to the City Beautiful. The opening of the story introduces us to Meg and Robin, who feel isolated and unloved in their aunt's home. They find a secret refuge atop a straw stack in the barn, where they can escape their dreary existence and enjoy each other's company. As they read stories and discuss their dreams, the mention of the Chicago World's Fair ignites a passion within them to seek out this promised "City Beautiful." They become determined to earn their own money and plan a daring adventure to see the Fair, reflecting their resilience and desire for a life filled with wonder and possibility, despite their difficult circumstances.
