"Our Little Austrian Cousin" by Florence Emma Voigt Mendel is a children's fiction book written in the early 20th century. This work is part of the "Little Cousin Series," which introduces young readers to various cultures through the eyes of influential child characters. In this story, the main character, Ferdinand Müller, is a lively boy from Vienna whose adventures lead him to an Austrian farm and various historical and legendary experiences rooted in his homeland.

It illustrates moments of family bonding as they prepare for a visit to a farm, contrasting the bustling life of children in the city of Vienna with the quaint rural lifestyle.
