QR code
"A Little Maid of Province Town" by Alice Turner Curtis is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the period leading up to the American Revolutionary War, the story follows an eight-year-old girl, Anne Nelson, as she navigates the challenges of orphanhood and societal turmoil in a small coastal settlement. The narrative reveals themes of resilience, community, and the loss of innocence through Anne’s encounters with both the
friendly and hostile elements of her world. The opening of the novel introduces Anne, a lonely child who has recently lost her father at sea and seeks refuge with a kind woman, Mistress Stoddard. As Anne begins to settle into her new home, she grapples with the taunts of local children who label her a "spy's daughter," reflecting the tension of the era. The narrative sets the stage for Anne to forge new relationships and confront her fears—both of being alone and of the war brewing around her. As she befriends others and copes with her father's absence, Anne’s journey promises adventure, growth, and the exploration of her identity amidst historical upheaval.
