"The Happy Adventurers" by Lydia Miller Middleton is a children's novel likely written during the early 20th century. The story follows a young girl named Mollie Gordon, who is sent to stay with her grandmother in Sussex after falling ill. Throughout her time in the countryside, Mollie embarks on a series of adventures filled with imaginative encounters, especially with a time-traveling girl named Prudence Campbell, who introduces her to life in Australia during the late 19th century. The opening of the book establishes Mollie's situation as she struggles with separation from her family and feels the weight of her recent illnesses. The narrative begins with her fatigue and disappointment, but soon shifts to a magical encounter with Prudence, who invites her to travel through time. Mollie's excitement grows as she is transported to a sunny Australian landscape in the year 1878, where she meets Prudence and her playful siblings. This opening sets the tone for an enchanting mix of adventure and friendship, suggesting that Mollie's journey will not only involve fun escapades but also lessons about creativity, resilience, and the passage of time.
