Summary "Little Tora, The Swedish Schoolmistress and Other Stories" by Sarah S. Baker is a collection of fictional tales crafted in the late 19th century. The stories primarily revolve around the life and challenges faced by a young girl named Tora, who aspires to become a schoolmistress, as well as depicting the lives of those in her community. The narrative explores themes of determination, sacrifice, and personal growth through Tora’s encounters and experiences. The opening of the book introduces Tora as a spirited young girl, engaging with a doctor’s family during dinner. It quickly establishes her desire to earn new shoes by showcasing her singing talents, despite her awkward attempts at performance. This moment leads to her being encouraged to pursue her dream of becoming a schoolmistress, with support from the adults around her. Tora’s earnest ambition and the kind interactions with her community captured in this beginning set the tone for a story about resilience and the journey of a young girl striving for her place in the world.
