- 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.

Five Little Peppers and How They Grew by Margaret. Sari Sidney, Illustrator
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
Oh! Oh! Oh! I loved the little Peppers when I was a girl!!

Didn't review because the nostalgia factor wouldn't really make it fair. I did find it similar to the others-- full of sentiment and naivete.
If you ever want to see how male names change. Just read these books, Margaret Mitchell, and L.M. Montgomery. Roslyn, Kimbery, Ashley... We really swing back and forth.
