(Thomas Bailey) Daisy's Necklace, and What Came of It Produced by David Garcia, Woodie4 and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Daisy's Necklace, and What Came of It" by Thomas Bailey Aldrich is a literary episode that was written in the late 19th century. This work combines elements of fiction with a wry commentary on the nature of writing and the literary world, exploring the lives of various characters intertwined with the protagonist, Mortimer, who aspires to be an author. Central to the narrative are the themes of ambition, unfulfilled dreams, and the complications of human relationships, exemplified through characters like Daisy Snarle and her family. The opening portion of the book introduces us to Mortimer, who is determined to write a novel, seeking solitude to pursue his literary ambitions while enduring the dismissive attitudes of those around him. As he contemplates life through the window of his room, the narrative shifts focus to the interactions and backstory of past events involving his friend Barescythe and the implications of writing and critique, blending introspection with humor. Simultaneously, we are introduced to the idyllic and poignant world of young Bell and Mortimer, hinting at their longing for their father and setting a tone of nostalgia and loss. This mix of whimsical childlike reflection and serious adult concerns suggests a nuanced exploration of the intersections between youthful dreams and adult realities.
