A Little Girl in Old New York
A Little Girl in Old New York, published in 1896, is the first of Amanda M. Douglas's stories of Hanny Underhill and her family, who leave a farm up the Hudson in the 1840s for a house in the city. Through the eyes of the youngest child the book takes in the New York of that decade: the shops and streets, the election excitement, the Millerites awaiting the end of the world, a real party, a play in the back yard, old landmarks and two Christmases. There is little plot and a great deal of affectionate detail about a city already vanished when Douglas wrote. The story continues in A Little Girl of Long Ago. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
