Résumé

"The Bobbsey Twins at Home" by Laura Lee Hope follows the adventures of the Bobbsey twins-Bert, Nan, Flossie, and Freddie-as they return from a summer vacation at their Uncle Dan's farm. The story begins with the twins on a train ride home, where they encounter a group of fresh air children, including a boy named Tommy Todd. Tommy shares his poignant story of his father, a sea captain who was lost at sea, leaving him and his grandmother in difficult circumstances. The Bobbsey family, moved by Tommy's plight, decides to help him and his grandmother. Upon returning to Lakeport, the twins quickly settle back into their routine, reconnecting with friends and engaging in playful activities. However, their return is not without excitement. A sudden stop on the train due to a moving picture being filmed adds an unexpected twist to their journey. Once home, the twins face a series of small adventures, including a playful dog that runs off with Flossie's doll, only to be thwarted by their cat, Snoop. The narrative weaves together themes of friendship, compassion, and the innocence of childhood. The Bobbsey family exemplifies kindness and community spirit, as they extend their support to Tommy and his grandmother. The twins' interactions with their friends and their imaginative play highlight the joys and challenges of childhood, while also addressing social issues such as poverty and loss.
