Summary "The Rectory Children" by Mrs. Molesworth is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative introduces readers to the lives of young children from two families living in the charming seaside town of Seacove, focusing particularly on the Fairchild family, consisting of the delicate and imaginative Celestina Fairchild and her parents. The story unfolds around themes of childhood happiness, imaginative play, and exploration of new friendships. At the start of the novel, we meet Celestina, a solitary little girl longing for her mother's attention while she plays with her dolls in the dimly lit parlour behind her father's bookshop. We learn about her delicate health, her creative spirit, and her admiration for her mother, who juggles shop duties alongside her care for Celestina. The opening portion also hints at changes coming to Seacove with the arrival of the Vane family, who brings three children, including a lively girl named Bridget. As the narrative progresses from here, it captures the themes of companionship, imagination, and the adventures that unfold as the lives of these two families intertwine in their new setting.
