Round Robin

Round Robin invites listeners into a lively circle of American schoolchildren who gather after school to share stories, games, and the small mysteries of their hometowns. Through their letters and lively meetings, the narrative paints a portrait of early‑twentieth‑century life on the home front, where each child brings a piece of his or her family’s past into the present conversation. The tone is earnest and warm, encouraging a sense of belonging that feels both nostalgic and immediate.

The first chapters introduce The Golden Girl, a quick‑witted girl who leads the Round Robin Club, and friends like Dick, Nelly, and the shy newcomer who travels with a mysterious trunk. Together they explore a fairy ring in the woods, stage a clambake on the riverbank, and stitch a patchwork quilt that becomes a symbol of their shared histories. Along the way, gentle lessons about law, liberty, and community emerge without ever feeling didactic. Listeners can hear the rustle of leaves, the hum of summer evenings, and the soft chatter that ties their diverse backgrounds into a single, hopeful voice.
