Book excerpt: The third book in the series tells the story of Prudy's Aunt Margaret Parlin's childhood. She tells Horace, Prudy, Dotty, and Flyaway her story before their visit with her comes to an end. She was a mischievous little girl who got in and out of all kinds of trouble. She doesn't tell her stories in chronological order because she can't remember the events in her life in the right order, so she tells it to them as the stories come to mind.
