Prudy Keeping House

Prudy Keeping House was first published in 1870. It is the second book in the "Little Prudy's Flyaway" series. This book picks up just where Little Folks Astray ends, with Horace, Prudy, Dotty, and Flyaway at their Aunt Madge Allen's house in New York City. Aunt Madge, however, has to go to her husband who is sick, and Prudy talks her into letting her keep house" (like cook, clean) for the others. The story tells of her efforts to keep house, and the adventures they get into. The story ends just after Christmas with the four children preparing to leave for home.
