| Summary | "Little Folks" by Various is a collection of children's stories and articles likely written during the late 19th century. This publication caters to young readers with narratives that entertain while imparting morals and lessons woven through the lives of its characters. The themes often reflect the adventures and simple struggles of childhood, frequently emphasizing intimate family relationships and the importance of nature. The opening of "Little Folks" introduces readers to the Moors, where two young children, Elsie and Duncan MacDougall, embark on a mundane yet playful quest to fetch milk. Described vividly, the landscape comes alive with colors, setting the scene for their everyday adventure. The children’s interactions display their sibling dynamics, as Duncan is eager to move while Elsie exhibits stubbornness and a penchant for adventure over duty. This fracture leads to hints of familial tensions, particularly with their mother, and raises questions about gender roles and responsibilities amongst siblings, especially concerning the more delicate Robbie. Overall, the beginning showcases the innocence of childhood, the beauty of the natural world, and encourages young readers to reflect on their own family roles and relationships.
