Mathews is a children's novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the character Bessie and her adventurous and wholesome experiences as a young girl, filled with explorations and delightful interactions in a rural mountain setting. The narrative introduces themes of family, kindness, and the beauty of nature, encapsulating the innocence and curiosity of childhood. At the start of the book, we meet Bessie and her family as they embark on a journey up the mountains to reach Chalecoo Lake. A vivid scene unfolds, depicting the children's excitement, the toiling horses, and the picturesque landscape. We encounter familiar and charming dialogues among children, reflecting their lively spirits and innocent perceptions of the world around them. The beginning portrays engaging interactions with local wildlife and hints at underlying themes of morality and the influence of upbringing, especially through the discussions about two local children, Lem and Dolly, who symbolize neglect and the consequences of a lack of guidance. This opening sets a warm and inviting tone, inviting young readers into a world full of adventures and valuable life lessons.
