Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving

by Louisa May Alcott

In 'Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving,' the Bassett family is thrown into a delightful flurry of activity when they are left to manage Thanksgiving preparations on their own. With their parents away caring for their ailing grandmother, the seven Bassett children, Eph, Tilly, Prue, Seth, Sol, Roxy, and Rhody, navigate a series of hilarious mishaps and heartwarming experiences. From thrilling sledding adventures and encounters with mischievous bears to storytelling sessions around the fire and wrestling with plum puddings, the children discover the true meaning of Thanksgiving through their shared experiences and the bonds of family.
