The Admiral's Caravan

"The Admiral's Caravan" first appeared in serialized form in the children's periodical "St. Nicholas" beginning in 1891. Published in book form in 1892, it was one of the last important works of 19th-century American children's fantasy. On Christmas Eve young Dorothy embarks on an adventure with the Admiral, the Highlander, and Sir Walter Rosettes, three wooden statues who come alive on that magic evening.
