Publisher's Summary
The original 1924 Gertrude Chandler Warner children's classic.
Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny are four recently orphaned siblings. Not wishing to live with their hard-hearted grandfather, whom they have never met because of his disapproval of their parents' marriage, the children strike out on their own. On a cold night, the children stop at a bakery to ask for food. They are invited to stay the night, but while there, the children overhear the baker and his wife discussing a plan to keep the older children as labor while sending young Benny to an orphanage. The children escape and flee to the woods and create a home for themselves in an abandoned box-car in the forest.
