| Summary | "The Open Window: Tales of the Months" by Mabel Osgood Wright is a collection of stories written in the early 20th century. This work is characterized by its evocative descriptions of nature and the changing seasons, reflecting the lives and experiences of characters in a rural setting. The stories appear to focus on themes of emotional connection, the passage of time, and the deep appreciation of the natural world intertwined with human existence. The opening of the book introduces us to winter's hold over the landscape and its inhabitants, specifically through the perspective of a character reflecting on the transition from Christmas to January. We are introduced to the Markis, a character embodying both resilience and despair, as he faces hunger and uncertainty in the wild landscape alongside his loyal dog, the Major. The narrative presents details of their struggle for survival and the simple beauty of their surroundings, setting the tone for what seems to be a deeper exploration of life's complexities in the context of nature's cycles and the characters’ emotional ties to their environments and each other.
