"A Round Dozen" by Susan Coolidge is a collection of charming short stories written in the late 19th century. The stories feature themes of childhood, adventure, and moral lessons, focusing on characters like Fritz, a boy who climbs a mountain to discover a magical door, and Queen Blossom, who, despite her illness, is celebrated by her friends. The vignettes are imbued with warmth and the timeless challenges of growing up. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to a world of wonder and folklore, beginning with the tale of a boy named Fritz who lives in the challenging environment of a valley plagued by unpredictable weather. Inspired by the sight of a mysterious white door atop a cliff, he embarks on a daring climb to investigate, discovering a magical realm inhabited by clouds that grant him a promise of good fortune in exchange for his virtue. This opening story sets a whimsical tone for the collection and hints at a world where kindness and courage lead to fantastical outcomes. Meanwhile, the narrative seamlessly weaves in other enchanting stories, like that of Queen Blossom, hinting at themes of friendship and resilience amid life's trials.
