Project Gutenberg 2009-04-30 Public domain in the USA. 534 Douglas, Amanda M. 1831 1916 Douglas, Amanda Minnie A Little Girl in Old Philadelphia E-text prepared by Marilynda Fraser-Cunliffe, J. P. W. Fraser, Josephine Paolucci, "A Little Girl in Old Philadelphia" by Amanda M. Douglas is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a young girl named Primrose Henry, who navigates her childhood amidst the strictures of Quaker society and the rich tapestry of life in old Philadelphia. The narrative explores her challenges as she divides her time between her simple country home and the more extravagant lifestyle of her relatives in the city. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Primrose as a lively child who enjoys the innocence of play but is soon faced with the reality of leaving her familiar surroundings to live with her Aunt Wetherill. The opening chapters detail her experiences at her uncle's farm, her interactions with family members, and the contrast between her simple, Quaker upbringing and the more elaborate world of her relatives. Through her perspective, readers glimpse the societal norms of the time, which often clash with her youthful desires for adventure and personal expression. The stage is set for Primrose's journey of self-discovery within a world that is both alluring and restrictive. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 82.3 (6th grade).
