Synopsis

Elsie's extended family enjoys a round of holiday calls that ends in an enchanting party for all at Woodburn, the Raymond family's new home. In the summer that follows, Lulu and Grace become the proud owners of new ponies, and Elsie and Violet welcome new editions to their budding families, born just one day apart. Captain Raymond, however, reinjures his ankle during a terrible spill from a horse. In the most panic-filled moment of the season, a rattlesnake brings an abrupt end to the fun at Lulu's surprise birthday party, but her quick thinking and bravery avert disaster.

Martha Finley (1828-1909), the daughter of a Presbyterian minister, was a school teacher and author of numerous articles, essays, and books, the most well-known being the 28 volumes of her "Elsie Dinsmore" series. Turning to writing stories for young people as a means of supporting herself after a serious injury, Finley sold more books than any other children's author of her day, with the exception of Louisa May Alcott.
