The Five Little Peppers Carry On

This is the first of many sequels to the original book about the five Pepper children. Now living at the Kings' home as cherished members of the family, the children, especially Polly, make the acquaintance of the unpleasant cousin Eunice Chatterton, who thinks the Kings are "slumming" by associating with the Peppers. She hopes at least to turn Polly into a willing servant to her, then decides to train little Phronsie instead. This is a very typical Victorian novel and your enjoyment will depend on how you tolerate the usual Victorian children's book excesses: the children exclaim with joy, have "rhapsodies," and cry at the drop of a hat. And although Phronise is now about eight years old in this story, she still talks as if she is the little baby of the original book. Still, it is fascinating to read about the way Victorian children lived and amused themselves, and even about differing attitudes to what are today simple accidents: in one part of the story, young Dick Whitney breaks his leg, and you might think from the reaction that the little boy is on the verge of death, until you realize that in those days a broken leg might cause blood poisoning or infection leading to death.
