Summary
Liked Louisa May Alcott's Little Women? You'll love Dandelion Cottage from Michigan author Carroll Watson Rankin. In this charming tale, four girls play an extended and elaborate game of 'house' in an abandoned cottage. Before long, the close bonds they form begin to spill over into real life -- with surprising and serendipitous results.
