The River's Children: An Idyl of the Mississippi is a novel by Ruth McEnery Stuart, published in 1898. The story is set in the Mississippi River valley and follows the lives of a group of children who live on a houseboat. The children, who are all siblings, are orphaned and have been living on the boat with their grandfather for several years. The story follows the children as they navigate the challenges of living on the river, including floods, storms, and encounters with dangerous animals. They also have to deal with the prejudices of the people they meet on their travels, who view them as river rats and look down on them for their unconventional lifestyle. Despite these challenges, the children are happy and content with their simple way of life. They spend their days fishing, playing, and exploring the river and its surroundings. As they grow older, they begin to dream of leaving the river and finding a place in the wider world. The novel is written in a lyrical style, with vivid descriptions of the natural beauty of the river and its wildlife. It also explores themes of family, community, and the importance of connection to the natural world. The River's Children: An Idyl of the Mississippi is a classic of American literature and a beloved work of fiction that continues to inspire readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
