- Margaret Sidney was the pseudonym of Harriett Mulford Stone. Sidney was her father's first name. In 1881, she married Daniel Lothrop, publisher and founder of the Boston firm D. Lothrop Publishing, and he published her now-classic series of Five Little Peppers books. After Lothrop's death, she ran the company for a while. Besides writing, Harriett had a great interest in history and historical homes and buildings, several of which she helped to preserve.

Times are tough around the little brown house! The widowed Mrs. Pepper has to sew all day long just to earn enough to pay the rent and to feed the five growing Peppers. But she faces poverty and trouble with a stout heart, a smiling face, and the help of her jolly brood: blue-eyed Ben, the eldest and the man of the house at the age of 11; pretty Polly, so eager to cook for the family and make everyone happy and comfortable; and the three littlest Peppers, Joel, Davie, and baby Phronsie.
A favorite for generations, this heartwarming classic first appeared in 1880. Since then, it has inspired countless young imaginations with its tender tales of the ways in which courage and good cheer can overcome adversity.… (more)

his is the story of the Pepper family from the 19th century. A story of family love and overcoming poverty. I really enjoyed this as a child but it is so sugary now I could barely tolerate it! 284 pages
