Summary "When Grandmamma Was New: The Story of a Virginia Childhood" by Marion Harland is a nostalgic account of childhood experiences written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows a young girl, Molly, as she navigates her formative years in Virginia, exploring her relationships with family, friends, and her captivating imagination. The book delves into themes of innocence, sibling rivalry, and the joys and sorrows that accompany growing up. The opening of the story introduces us to Molly, her cousin Mary 'Liza, and their interactions centered around their play and their beloved dolls. The narrative captures Molly's complex emotions as she grapples with envy and discontent upon receiving a less desirable gift compared to Mary 'Liza's beautiful doll. This moment sparks a series of events leading to Molly's impulsive mischief with her cousin's doll, Rozillah, showcasing her spirited character. Harland sets the stage for a story rich with memories and reflections on childhood, punctuated by humor and heartfelt moments that promise an engaging reading experience.
