About this book

"Six Girls and Bob: A Story of Patty-Pans and Green Fields" by Marion Ames Taggart is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the Scollard family, particularly the six daughters, and their newfound neighbor Bob as they navigate life, challenges, and the dream of a better future. With themes of familial love and resilience, the narrative explores the day-to-day dynamics of a lively household striving to support their ailing mother while maintaining their upbeat spirits. The opening of the novel introduces the Scollard family and their bustling life in a cramped New York City apartment, affectionately nicknamed "Patty-Pans." The character of Happie emerges as a source of humor and light, as she and her siblings engage in witty banter while cooking fudge in their tiny kitchen. The scene paints a vivid picture of their personalities: from the responsible Margery to the whimsical Laura, and even the youngest Polly's sensible nature. As they prepare dinner and cope with the small chaos of their lives, the shadows of their mother’s health loom, setting up a heartfelt narrative that promises to explore themes of hardship, togetherness, and the warmth of family bonds amidst adversity.
