Summary "Second Plays" by A.A. Milne is a collection of theatrical works written in the early 20th century. The book showcases Milne's skill in playwriting, featuring charming narratives that blend humor with insightful observations on human relationships and society. The collection includes the children's play "Make-Believe," among others, illustrating themes of imagination, family, and adventure. The opening of the collection begins with an introduction where Milne shares his experiences and thoughts on the art of playwriting, poking fun at critics and the theater world. He sets the stage for "Make-Believe," a children's play that unfolds in the Hubbard family's lively playroom where young Rosemary decides to write a play for Christmas. As she explores her imagination, her interactions with James, the butler, and her lively ideas about involving the entire Hubbard family in her performance lead to a collision of fun and make-believe. The whimsical tone invites readers into a world where creativity and childhood innocence reign. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
