Summary "A Summer in a Cañon: A California Story" by Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin is a novel set in the early 20th century, specifically around 1914. The story revolves around a group of young campers, including the spirited Polly Oliver and her friends, as they prepare for a summer adventure in the picturesque Las Flores Cañon in California. Their experiences are characterized by lively interactions, whimsical naming of their camp, and the anticipation of outdoor exploration and fun. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the vibrant preparations for the camping trip. We meet Geoffrey Strong, who is humorously coerced by three girls into naming their camp, illustrating the playful dynamics among the children. As the characters gather their provisions, the atmosphere is filled with excitement and camaraderie. The narrative shifts to describe their charming homes, emphasizing the warmth and bonds between the characters, especially highlighting Elsie Howard, an invalid friend who remains a key part of their adventures through letters. This initial segment sets the stage for a delightful summer filled with both lighthearted escapades and meaningful friendships amidst the beauty of nature.
