Produced by Emmy, Beth Baran and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Our Little French Cousin" by Blanche McManus is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows the life of Germaine, a young girl living in Normandy, France, as she experiences her daily routines and adventures in a quaint rural setting. Through her journey, readers are introduced to various aspects of French culture and history, as well as the close ties between America and France, especially during the tumultuous times of war. The opening of the story introduces us to Germaine as she eagerly awakens to a beautiful day filled with promise. We learn about her life in the La Chaumière farmhouse, her interactions with her mother, Madame Lafond, and her anticipation of her sister Marie's return from school. As they prepare to visit a friend and attend family gatherings, readers are shown snippets of farm life—caring for animals, traditional meals, and the lovely environment that Germaine calls home. The backdrop of the impending war in Europe adds an element of historical context, suggesting deeper themes of friendship and resilience that may unfold in Germaine's adventures.
