Summary "Mrs. Tree" by Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the eccentric and lively titular character, Mrs. Tree, who, despite her advanced age of over ninety years, exudes vitality and engages in the everyday dramas of her village in Elmerton. The novel explores themes of age, community ties, and the rich tapestry of human relationships, as seen through Mrs. Tree's interactions with various townsfolk and visitors. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to Mrs. Tree, a formidable and sharp-witted elderly woman, and her companion Direxia Hawkes. The opening chapter reveals their dynamic as they discuss various happenings in the village, including the departure of a young couple. Mrs. Tree's strong personality is emphasized in her banter with Direxia and her musings on the world around her. The narrative also hints at deeper connections, such as the likely return of William Jaquith, a young man with a troubled past, whose story intertwines with the lives of the townspeople. This sets the stage for a charming exploration of life's complexities as seen through the eyes of an unforgettable character. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
