Summary "The Pleasures of the Country: Simple Stories for Young People" by Harriet Myrtle is a collection of children's stories likely written in the late 19th century. The work encapsulates the joys of childhood adventures and the beauty of the rural landscape through the eyes of young protagonists, such as Edward, Kate, and their sister Laura. Each narrative aims to instill values of kindness, curiosity, and appreciation for nature in young readers. The opening of the collection introduces Edward and Kate, who enjoy exploring their countryside surroundings. Their excitement grows when they receive permission to visit the mysterious, enchanting Old Hall, which has long been uninhabited but intrigues them with its history. Accompanied by their sister Laura, they embark on this adventure, only to encounter unexpected challenges along the way, including a compassionate interaction with a weary traveler and his daughter. This heartwarming beginning sets the tone for a series of stories that promise both delightful escapades and moral lessons intertwined with themes of empathy and community.
