Summary "Maida's Little Shop" by Inez Haynes Gillmore is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a little girl named Maida Westabrook, who has recently undergone surgery that has allowed her to walk, although she still experiences fatigue. Now determined to lead a fulfilling life, she dreams of running her own shop. The narrative explores her adventures and challenges as she endeavors to create a lively little corner store, guided by her love for her new venture and the support of her friends and family. The opening of the book introduces us to Maida as she travels with her father, a family friend, and a companion, reflecting on her beautiful but restrained life. We learn about her delicate health and the concern that her father and doctor have regarding her lack of interests. After expressing her desire to run a shop, Maida’s father agrees, setting the stage for her to embark on a journey filled with hard work and joy. The scene unfolds as they stop at an old store, sparking Maida’s fascination and leading to her father’s promise to purchase the shop for her. The subsequent chapters detail Maida's preparations to open her shop and hint at the charming community interactions she will have as she brings her dreams to life.
