Summary "The Story of the Big Front Door" by Mary Finley Leonard is a children’s novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around the adventures of a group of children in a quaint neighborhood where they engage in imaginative play, including games inspired by classic stories like Robin Hood. Their interactions are influenced by their relationships with each other and their new neighbor, Miss Brown, who is key to the unfolding of their shared experiences. The opening of the story introduces Ikey Ford, who brings troubling news of new occupants moving into the abandoned "Brown house," which has been the children's playground. This news sparks a series of discussions among the neighborhood kids about their feelings of loss and incites their imaginations as they plot ways to reclaim their space. The initial chapters depict the children's creative games and the camaraderie that blossoms among them, highlighting themes of friendship, exploration, and the impact of community as they navigate the changes brought by their new neighbor and the secrets held by the mysterious front door of her house.
