关于此电子书
From a Newbery Award winner, this classic story of the adventures of four siblings who befriend an orphan “will leave you with a warm and pleasant glow” (Kirkus Reviews).
With Father in Washington and Cuffy, their housekeeper, away visiting a sick cousin, almost anything might happen to the Melendy kids left behind at the Four-Story Mistake. In the Melendy family, adventures are inevitable: Mr. Titus and the catfish; the villainy of the DeLacey brothers; Rush’s composition of Opus 3; Mona’s first rhubarb pie and all the canning; Randy’s arrowhead; the auction and fair for the Red Cross. But best of all is the friendship with Mark Herron, which begins with a scrap-collection mission and comes to a grand climax on Oliver’s birthday.
Here is Elizabeth Enright’s classic story of a long and glorious summer in the country with the resourceful, endearing Melendy bunch.

“The Melendys are the quintessential storybook family . . . [their] ardent approach to living is eternally relevant.” —Publishers Weekly
