Synopsis: The little square cottage was unoccupied. It had stood for many years on the parish property, having indeed been built long before the parish bought the land for church purposes. It was easy to see how Dandelion Cottage came by its name at first, for growing all about it were great, fluffy, golden dandelions; but afterwards there was another good reason why the name was appropriate, as you will discover shortly.

Review: Taking into consideration time and place, this was a cute read. It reminded me of The Bobbsey Twins or the original Boxcar Children books. I chose this because I wanted to read a book set on Michigan's Upper Peninsula because we visited it in June (for the first time).

This book was first published in 1904, and one I would have eaten up back in my middle school days.

Fun fact, "Dandelion Cottage" is a national historic site and still stands today in Marquette, Michigan.
