Five Little Peppers and How They Grew is a true classic. The writing is definitely old-fashioned and more difficult to read, but it is rich, complex, and powerful—writing at its best. The story and the characters are endearing, and the books are packed with wonderful messages and solid family values. The first book, first published in 1880, follows the struggles and accomplishments of Mrs. Pepper, a widow, and her five children. We have read several of the books and skimmed through the rest and found nothing objectionable.
