Five Little Peppers and How They Grew
What's This Book About
Five Little Peppers and How They Grew was originally serialized in an 1880 edition of Wide Awake, a children’s magazine. The publisher of the magazine, Daniel Lothrop, loved the Pepper stories so much that he published a hard-cover edition of the story – and married the author in 1881. In 1883 the couple moved to historic Concord, Massachusetts, and resided in a house called the Wayside, which had previously been home to Nathaniel Hawthorne and also to Louisa May Alcott, the author of Little Women.

Reviews
Margaret Sidney excels in her ability to create lovable characters that, even with a slightly ordinary setting, create a beautiful setting to pull the reader in and wish you were sitting around the fire, telling stories with the kids in the little brown house. I love how this story shows that beauty, magic, and true happiness are found without money or prestige, as well as the joy from family (and neighbors who are just like family).
