If you were with us last week, you may recall the scenes with Frightful the Falcon preening her feathers and Mary Lennox’s robin friend showing off his sleek red waistcoat. As spring skips along in riotous color, so our literary friends primp, preen, and put on their finest in today’s episode. Now, we have just two more episodes in our spring series. So today, let’s imagine ourselves dressed in our sweetest organdie frocks with parasols swinging and hats nodding as we cherish a fleeting visit on the Idlewild Cottage veranda. We’ll step into six scenes as several book characters prepare for various events. We’ll also note how fashion changes along the way.
