Ever the optimist, Nancy brims withexcitement at the family's new life, but this "perfect world" has itsproblems--notably an absentee landlord who knows nothing about the Careyfamily's rental agreement.Through hard work and Mr. Poppem's continuinggenerosity, the Careys fix up the house and find life in the rural Mainetown quite satisfactory.Things become tense when their cousin Julia arrivesfor an extended visit, but eventually Nancy and Julia grow from oneanother's experiences and become good friends. You'll never guess whathappens when the absent landlord returns unannounced during the family'sHalloween housewarming party!
One section that may sit poorly with modern audiences features Nancy andJulia discussing how to emphasize one's femininity at the expense of hiding the real you--an indication of how much American thinking has changed in arelatively short period of time.Nevertheless, this is a charming talefeaturing toe-tapping ragtime music, wonderful songs by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman including "Summer Magic"and "The Ugly Bug Ball," and the incomparable talents of Mills and Ives.Take a trip down memory lane and don't forget the kids.
