Letitia lives with her bright, active old Great-aunt Peggy in the house where her grandmother and great-grandmother lived and died, a mile from the nearest child, until she finds the green door.

Mary E. Wilkins Freeman's 1910 book is a gentle fantasy for children by a distinguished American author. Charming, warm, quietly magical. Read it for a lovely storybook tale where a lonely little girl in an old family house discovers a green door that opens onto wonder, from a master of the New England tale.
