Summary "Bertha, Our Little German Cousin" by Mary Hazelton Blanchard Wade is a children's book written in the early 20th century, specifically in 1904. This fictional narrative is part of "The Little Cousin Series" and aims to introduce young readers to the German culture through the eyes of a young girl named Bertha.

The plot centers around Bertha, a spirited nine-year-old girl living in a small village in the Black Forest. The book unfolds through various chapters that describe her experiences, especially around festive occasions like Christmas and her tenth birthday. We see Bertha engaging in traditional practices such as toy-making with her family and attending a coffee party with friends. The narrative is enriched by local legends, stories about historical figures like Frederick the Great, and the challenges Bertha faces, all intertwined with themes of family, duty, and love for her homeland.
