| 520 | _a"Dickory Dock" by L. T. Meade is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story primarily revolves around the themes of family, responsibility, and compassion as it follows the adventures of two children, Peter and Flossy, who take on the care of their orphaned cousin, a baby girl they name Dickory Dock. Set against a backdrop of a modest household and interactions with various lodgers, the narrative presents a world of childhood innocence where love and caring can triumph over adversity. The plot centers on Peter and Flossy's attempt to shield Dickory Dock from being sent to the workhouse after the children learn their mother considers this option for the baby following complaints from their lodgers about her cries. Overwhelmed with affection for Dickory, Peter and Flossy decide to run away with her, leading to various adventures and misadventures as they try to keep her safe and happy. Their journey ultimately leads them to a grieving mother, Mrs. Ross, who lost her child, and who finds joy in taking in Dickory Dock, promising a better home for the baby. Through their innocent endeavors, the children learn about sacrifice, kindness, and the importance of family connections, making the tale both heartwarming and engaging.
