Summary "Meadow Grass: Tales of New England Life" by Alice Brown is a collection of short stories likely written in the late 19th century that explore the intricacies of rural life in New England. The narratives portray various characters from tight-knit communities, highlighting their daily experiences, relationships, and the nostalgia for simpler times through vivid descriptions and rich imagery. At the start of the collection, the opening portion takes the reader into a nostalgic reflection on childhood memories associated with a small schoolhouse in Tiverton. The narrator reminisces about the idyllic rural landscape, the carefree days of youth, and the vibrant life surrounding the school, detailing intricate observations of nature and the simple joys found in daily school routines. Characters from this early reminiscence include classmates who have since led diverse lives, illustrating the passage of time and the enduring bonds of memory.
