Excerpt from The Dolls' Journey Mr. Plum lived in St. Paul, Minnesota, U. S. A. There were six little Plums, all girls, varying in ages from fourteen to seven, and named Kate, Lucy, Susy, Lizzie, Marjory, and Maggie. There was no mamma, but Mrs. Gibbs, the housekeeper, was a kind old soul, and papa did everything he could to make the small daughters good and happy. One stormy Saturday afternoon the children were all together in the school-room, and papa busy at his desk in the library, with the door open because he liked to hear the pleasant voices and catch glimpses of the droll plays that went on there. Kate lay on the sofa reading "The Daisy Chain" for the fourth time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
