About this eBook

Author Blackwood, Algernon, 1869-1951
Title The Extra Day
Credits Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team
Summary "The Extra Day" by Algernon Blackwood is a novel written in the early 20th century, specifically in the late 1910s. This story revolves around three children, Judy, Tim, and Maria, who navigate their lives under the care of their family and a cast of intriguing characters, including their whimsical Uncle Felix. The book explores themes of wonder and imagination, as the children yearn for fantastic adventures and the arrival of a mysterious "Wonderful Stranger" who they believe will add excitement to their ordinary lives. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the everyday household dynamics of the children, their affectionate but conventional parents, and Aunt Emily, who represents authority and caution. The children delight in their imaginative games and experiences within the confines of their familial roles but are also deeply connected to the enchanting world outside their home. As they anticipate the arrival of something magical to break the monotony of their lives, we witness glimpses of their desires and individual personalities. The chapter invites us into their innocent yet profound musings about life, inviting readers to reflect on their own experiences of wonder and the unquenchable curiosity that comes with childhood.
