The Sunbonnet Babies in Italy

Two curious little sisters, May and Molly, set sail from America and soon find themselves gliding into the sparkling Bay of Naples. From the deck of a grand steamer they gaze at the smoking silhouette of Mount Vesuvius, hearing their father's tales of the ancient eruption that buried Pompeii. Their excitement grows as the bustling city of Naples appears, full of bright dresses, citrus fruits, and fragrant roses waiting to be explored.

Stepping ashore, the twins are greeted by a sweet‑mouthed Italian girl who instantly wins their trust with a warm smile. Guided through a lively crowd, they encounter noisy vendors, friendly carriage drivers, and the vibrant rhythm of everyday life in a foreign land. Their first ride through the winding streets promises new sights, sounds, and the gentle thrill of discovering a world far from home.
