141 pages · First published 1979
Young Mabel’s memories continue in a second collection of humorous episodes from late-nineteenth-century family life. Her curiosity, impulsive decisions, and occasional attempts to improve situations without adult help repeatedly lead to comic consequences. Parents, grandparents, siblings, schoolmates, and church members provide a warm community in which mistakes become opportunities to learn. The episodic stories combine historical domestic detail with straightforward Christian lessons about character and responsibility.
