| Summary |
"The Wood-Pigeons and Mary" by Mrs. Molesworth is a charming children's narrative written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a little girl named Mary and her relationship with two wood-pigeons, Mr. and Mrs. Coo, who have become her dear friends. As Mary navigates her emotions and the challenges of connecting with her family, the tale explores themes of friendship, understanding, and the wonder of nature. The opening of the story introduces us to the warm and whimsical world of Mary and the Cooies. As Mary sits crying by her window, the wood-pigeons are concerned for her well-being, leading to a series of gentle conversations that highlight their bond. We see Mary as a curious and imaginative child with a penchant for nature, and her feelings of sadness stem from the perceived cruelty of the wood-pigeons leaving her home, which further showcases her deep connection with them. The narrative sets the stage for the enchantment that unfolds as Mary learns to communicate with her feathered friends and begins to understand her emotions.
