“A WONDERFUL THING IS GOING TO HAPPEN”Introduction
The first Anne Nelson story was “A Little Maid of Province Town,” whichtold how the little Cape Cod girl’s father went away to fight for thecolonies, how she went to live with the Stoddards, how she escapedperils from Indians and wolves, made an unexpected trip to Boston, andcarried an important message for the colonial army.
The girls and boys who made acquaintance in that book with Anne and withAmanda and Amos Cary will be glad to read here how Amos won his heart’sdesire,—to go a long voyage from the harbor of Province Town; Anne’sjourney with the Indians, her imprisonment in the house in the woods,and her escape; how she and Rose Freeman discovered “Aunt Anne Rose” onthe happy trip in Boston, and how Anne helped to capture an Englishprivateer, will hold the attention of young readers, and, incidentally,show them something of the times and history of Revolutionary days inNew England.
