Summary "Child Life in Prose" by John Greenleaf Whittier is a collection of prose stories and sketches written in the late 19th century. The book is an anthology that explores themes of childhood through various literary contributions from different authors, reflecting on the beauty and innocence of child life, while also capturing the imagination and experiences unique to children. The opening of this work introduces the reader to the overarching themes presented, framing childhood as a wondrous and sacred period of life filled with innocence and exploration. Whittier discusses the aims of the collection, noting that it is intended for both children and adults who cherish the creative spirit of childhood. In the initial stories presented, we meet characters like Little Annie, who ventures out into the world, embodying the curiosity and fearlessness often seen in children. Through her adventures, readers can almost feel the whimsical yet profound nature of childhood experiences, as Whittier captures the magic and the transcendence of these formative years.
