Little Boy Brown
is a young boy who lives in New York City. He describes the world he and his
parents live in, with no nature, almost underground, between tunnels and
subways. One day, Hilda, the chambermaid, takes him to her family in the countryside. There he
discovers the pleasure of making a fire, helping Hilda to cook a cake and patting
the house’s dog. The afternoon tea brings the whole of Hilda’s family together.
They speak a foreign language. At the end of the day, it is a wonderful experience
for Little Boy Brown whose life has been changed as well as his outlook on the
others.
