The Meadow-Brook Girls Under Canvas; Or, Fun and Frolic in the Summer Camp

A group of spirited teenage girls spend a sunny summer at Meadow‑Brook’s camp, where tents sway under the trees and every day feels like a new adventure. Their days are filled with games, secret meetings, and the occasional bout of harmless rivalry, all set against the gentle backdrop of a New Hampshire village. The story captures the simple pleasures of outdoor life—climbing hills, sharing picnics, and dreaming of distant seas.

Among the quartet, Margery is quick‑tempered and eager to prove herself, while Hazel offers steady, sensible guidance. Grace, affectionately called “Tommy,” delights in whimsical rituals like consulting an imagined oracle, and Harriet balances the group with quiet determination despite her modest means. Their lively banter and distinct personalities create a warm, nostalgic portrait of friendship and youthful curiosity, inviting listeners to linger in the breezy world of early‑twentieth‑century camp life.
