A summer's account of how three children take care of a tiny house they have been given for a playhouse. The children's efforts and the details of fixing up a real house are fascinating to those of us who like houses.
Each chapter is introduced with one of Coatsworth's lyrical poems, and the slipcover and illustrations by Marguerite Davis give a detailed record of the period from her own sketches in the little town of Hingham, Massachusetts, where the author lived with her family.
