"Down the Snow Stairs; Or, From Good-Night to Good-Morning" by Alice Corkran is a children's fantasy book written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young girl named Kitty, who is deeply worried about her sick brother Johnnie. Set during Christmas, Kitty is torn by guilt over a decision that led to his illness, setting the stage for a magical journey that explores themes of innocence, mischief, and the ramifications of one's actions. At the start of the narrative, Kitty lies awake on Christmas Eve, haunted by her brother's illness and the pain she feels for having taken him outside to play in the snow. The sorrow of not being able to see him weighs heavily on her heart, compelling her to sneak into Johnnie’s room while he sleeps. Their tender, albeit bittersweet conversation touches on Kitty's feelings of guilt and desire for reconciliation. As she reminisces about their bond, a magical snowman beckons her on a whimsical adventure, framing her journey into a fantastical world meant to uncover deeper truths about herself and the nature of childhood. This opening sets the tone for a blend of both real and surreal experiences that await Kitty, ultimately leading her to confront her fears and desires in a world filled with enchanting possibilities.
