Author: Margaret Sidney / Year: 1844-1924 / Genre:6-9 When the friends of the Pepper family found that the author was firm in her decision to continue their history no further, they brought
their appeals for the details of some of those good times that made the "little brown house" an object lesson. In these appeals, the
parents were as vigorous as the young people for a volume of the stories that Polly told, to keep the children happy in those hard
days when her story telling had to be a large factor in their home life; and also for a book of their plays and exploits, impossible to
be embodied in the continued series of their history, so that all who loved the "Five Little Peppers" might the better study the
influences that shaped their lives.
