| Summary | "Dick and Dolly" by Carolyn Wells is a children’s novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on twins Dick and Dolly, who, after being orphaned, are sent to live with their aunts in a new home called Dana Dene in Connecticut. The narrative explores themes of family, adventure, and the joys of childhood as the twins adjust to their new life and surroundings. At the start of the story, we meet Dick and Dolly as they embark on their journey to Dana Dene, filled with a mix of excitement and anxiety about their new home and aunts they have never met. They arrive in a quaint countryside setting, where their well-mannered expectations clash with their playful spirit, leading to a delightful encounter with a brook that results in them becoming muddy and disheveled just before meeting their aunts. The ensuing chaos sets up a series of humorous and heartwarming exchanges as the aunts try to impose order in their lives, while the twins remain carefree and eager to explore their new environment, including gardens and play areas. This opening segment promises a delightful exploration of adjustment, childhood wonder, and the relationships that develop in their new home. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
