Dandelion Cottage

by Carroll Watson Rankin

Dandelion Cottage tells the story of four young girls who befriend a wealthy businessman named Mr. Black. The girls, seeking a playhouse, discover a derelict cottage and convince Mr. Black to allow them to use it in exchange for pulling dandelions on his property. Through their interactions with Mr. Black and their experiences in the cottage, the girls learn about the importance of friendship, hard work, and the joys of simple pleasures. The story is set in Marquette, Michigan, and captures the charm and innocence of childhood in a bygone era.
