    About this ebook

    The blooms of a colonial New Hampshire town inspired this heartwarming 1878 children’s novel. A tea-party-crashing dog introduces two girls to Ben Brown, a boy on the run from the circus. The friends help Ben find home, family, and a happy ending, but not before misunderstanding, adventure, and tragedy strike.
