| Summary |
"The Brownie Scouts at Windmill Farm" by Mildred A. Wirt is a children's novel written in the early 1950s. The story follows a group of enthusiastic Brownie Scouts, particularly focusing on the character of Hanny, a young Dutch girl who recently moved to America. The plot revolves around the Brownies' involvement in preparing for a local flower show while exploring themes of friendship, cultural diversity, and community spirit. At the start of the novel, five Brownie Scouts are eagerly listening to their librarian, Miss Paula Mohr, as she announces an opportunity to help with Rosedale’s annual tulip show. The girls express excitement about assisting Mrs. Langley, a local garden club president. During their meeting, they learn about Hanny, a girl from Holland who enjoys visiting the library. The opening chapters set the stage for the Brownies' adventures at Windmill Farm, including run-ins with a pushy flower promoter and the mysterious locked house on the farm that hints at secrets waiting to be discovered. The narrative quickly establishes a delightful mix of escapades, character interactions, and the anticipation of the upcoming flower festival. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
