Enemies : A tale for little lads and lasses by Marian Isabel Hurrell
"Enemies: A Tale for Little Lads and Lasses" by Marian Isabel Hurrell is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative explores familial bonds and the themes of conflict and reconciliation among young children, particularly focusing on two branches of the Rose family. The book touches on deeper moral lessons, including the importance of love and forgiveness, addressing the fictional portrayal of social class differences through the interactions between
the cousins. The story follows the Rose family, specifically focusing on Mrs. Rose and her four children: Hugh, Frank, Ronald, and Elsie, as they navigate challenges stemming from their estranged grandfather, Sir Matthew Rose. Tensions rise when the family's estranged relatives, the Wilfrid Roses, move in next door, igniting a rivalry between the two groups of children. The main characters find themselves caught up in a playful yet serious "war," dubbed the "Wars of the Roses," as they grapple with themes of loyalty, pride, and hostility. However, as events unfold, they learn the value of forgiveness and friendship, leading to a heartwarming resolution where bonds strengthen and animosities dissolve. The narrative encapsulates the journey from anger to peace through innocence and the genuine desire for connection. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
