Summary "Apples, Ripe and Rosy, Sir” by Mary Catherine Crowley is a collection of stories for boys and girls, likely written in the late 19th century. The book offers diverse narratives that bring to life the experiences of children, illustrating themes of kindness, adventure, and moral growth through simple yet heartfelt tales. The opening of the book introduces readers to a cold March afternoon in a bustling city, focusing on Widow Barry, an old Irish apple vendor. As the snow begins to fall heavily, she laments her unsold goods and reflects on her hardships. Just as she considers leaving her post, a young boy named Tom Norris appears, offering his assistance and companionship. Despite the bitter weather, Tom's cheerful demeanor and kind heart shine through as he helps Widow Barry with her burdens and engages in warm conversation about apples, politics, and mutual respect. This opening sets the tone for the collection, emphasizing themes of compassion, community, and the innocence of childhood. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
