Some Little People by George Kringle
"Some Little People" by George Kringle is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young girl named 'Lisbeth Lillibun, who dreams of living in London but struggles with the challenges of contentment and the realities of her life in the countryside. This charming tale explores themes of childhood dreams, adventure, and the importance of being satisfied with one's surroundings. The opening of the book introduces
'Lisbeth as a little girl living a hundred miles from London, where she longs to be. Accompanied by her brother Dickon, they venture a mile away from home, triggering her curiosity about the distance to the city. Throughout their exploration, 'Lisbeth becomes preoccupied with thoughts of London and the idea of adventure, while Dickon tries to ground her by appreciating the beauty of their surroundings. This sets the stage for 'Lisbeth's journey, as she grapples with her desires and learns valuable lessons about contentment, fantasy versus reality, and the importance of family and home.
