Synopsis

Little Homespun is a novel written by Ruth Ogden and published in 1897. The story revolves around the life of a young girl named Homespun, who grows up in a small village in rural America. Homespun is a hardworking and determined girl who faces many challenges in her life, including poverty, illness, and social prejudice. Despite these obstacles, she remains steadfast in her pursuit of happiness and success. Along the way, she meets a cast of colorful characters, including a kindly old woman who becomes her mentor, a wealthy businessman who offers her a job, and a handsome young man who captures her heart. Through it all, Homespun remains true to herself and her values, and ultimately finds the happiness and fulfillment she has been seeking.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In a way, this book, “Little Homespun,” is a story quite by itself. In another way it is a sequel to “Courage,” although you can “catch its thread” without having read a line of “Courage.” Now some grown people, and I presume some children, do not care for sequels at all, but I happen to know that the children who are good enough to read and care for my stories are fond of sequels. Those who have taken the trouble to write me, in little letters that are worth their weight in gold many times over, almost invariably ask for another book about the same people. Sometimes they tell me just what to put into the new story and what name to give it. So here lies my excuse if one is needed for writing “Little Homespun.” Besides, I could hardly help it, for there seemed to be quite a little yet to tell about Courage and Sylvia, and some new little friends of theirs. And one thing more—everything in this story that has to do with real people or actual events is absolutely true; a little book, named “Historic Arlington,” giving most of the information needed. Even old black Joe has his counterpart in Wesley Morris, one of the slaves of Mr. Custis, born on the estate, and employed for many years following the war as a workman about the grounds at Arlington. “RUTH OGDEN.”
