| Summary |
"Diane of the Green Van" by Leona Dalrymple is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Diane Westfall, a spirited young woman who embarks on an adventurous summer journey in her gypsy cart, yearning for a life immersed in nature and freedom. Her encounters with various characters, including an aviator and her cousin Carl, set the stage for romance and intrigue against the backdrop of the idyllic countryside. The opening of the novel introduces Diane in the Connecticut hills during spring, where she enjoys the beauty of nature and the bustling excitement of preparing for her impending travels. While exploring a nearby lake, she meets a charming but hapless aviator stranded in his hydro-aeroplane. Their witty banter reveals Diane's upbeat personality and her intuitive nature, while the aviator's light-hearted demeanor hints at a budding connection. As the story unfolds, Diane's longing for adventure is palpable, and this chance meeting serves as a thrilling prelude to her upcoming gypsy summer. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
