"The Corner House Girls in a Play" by Grace Brooks Hill is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. This story continues the adventures of the Kenway sisters, Tess, Dot, Agnes, and Ruth, as they engage with their community and each other while preparing to stage a play. The narrative explores themes of friendship, responsibility, and the importance of family, often showcasing the girls' imaginative and resourceful nature. The opening of the book introduces the two younger sisters, Tess and Dot, as they grapple with their history lessons, specifically the succession of English sovereigns. Their innocent banter about the subject reflects their emerging personalities, with Tess feeling overwhelmed and Dot displaying her quirky vocabulary. After a chance encounter with a mysterious woman in a gray cloak, who teaches Tess a helpful rhyme for remembering the sovereigns, the girls' focus shifts towards their personal lives, including their relationships with friends and family. As they navigate their daily adventures, including concerns about their school, authority figures, and the community’s well-being, readers are drawn into their world filled with both challenges and charming unpredictability.
