Produced by Al Haines
"Little Prudy's Captain Horace" by Sophie May is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around young Horace and his sister Grace Clifford, who navigate the joys and challenges of childhood, such as making candy, camping adventures, and the longing for their father's return from the war. The narrative captures the innocence and mischief of childhood while exploring themes of family, obedience, and growing up. The opening of the story introduces the Clifford family's warm domestic life and sets the stage for Horace's vibrant personality. Known as a boy with a strong imagination, Horace delights in playful banter with Grace as they watch the stars and eagerly anticipate making candy. The interactions between Horace and Grace reveal their sibling dynamics—particularly Horace's spirited nature and Grace's sensible demeanor. As they venture into the kitchen, their excitement about the candy-making process showcases their youthful enthusiasm, hinting at the delightful escapades that are to come throughout the book.
