Under the Lilacs

Set in a whimsical summer backdrop, two sisters, Bab and Betty Moss, encounter a circus runaway named Ben Brown and his dog, Sancho. The girls help Ben find work herding cattle, allowing him to indulge in his passion for riding. Their adventures together lead to personal growth and self-discovery, contrasting with the more serious themes found in Alcott's other works. This charming tale celebrates friendship, adventure, and the joys of childhood.
