| Summary | "Our Little Siamese Cousin" by Mary Hazelton Blanchard Wade is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. This book follows the life of a young boy named Chin, who lives in Siam, as he experiences the customs, culture, and daily life of his homeland. Through Chin's adventures, readers are introduced to the traditions and festivities of Siamese society, including games, family dynamics, and the significance of their beliefs. At the start of the story, the narrator introduces Chin, a baby who is carefully cared for by his young parents. The opening chapter details his first birthday celebration, where his father throws a small party with actors to commemorate this milestone. As the narrative unfolds, readers learn about the family's lifestyle aboard a houseboat on the river Meinam, their unique home, and the significance of cultural practices such as clothing, food, and bathing rituals. The setting is vividly depicted, illustrating the vibrant natural and social environment of Chin's world and inviting readers to experience the warmth and charm of Siamese life through the eyes of a child.
