| Summary | "Little Alfred" by L. A. Holdich is a children's novel written in the mid-19th century. The story follows a young boy named Alfred Penrose as he experiences various seasonal joys and learns moral lessons through his interactions with family and nature. The narrative is designed to impart values while entertaining young readers, touching upon themes such as gratitude, obedience, and compassion. The opening portion of the book introduces Alfred, a little boy living in a beautiful town near the Connecticut River. It describes his delight in summer activities alongside his father and brothers, including fishing, exploring the brook, and gathering flowers. The narrative contrasts Alfred's happy life with that of less fortunate children, drawing attention to the blessings he enjoys, such as a loving family and a connection to nature. As readers are invited into Alfred's world, they also encounter deeper reflections on kindness and empathy, setting the tone for the moral explorations to come in subsequent chapters.
