Retaining the full flavor and all the well-remembered incidents of the original story, Rosemary G. Musil has given this play a sense of humor which is not only modern, but also perennial.

In this highly amusing comedy, the five Pepper children at home are always getting into mischief and having to be helped out of it by Grandma Bascomb. But when they join forces with the wealthy Whitney children, the fun is intensified, for the Whitneys are of a mischievous turn themselves.

The play illustrates the good American tenet that poor people with ambition may better themselves, and that rich people recognize an obligation to help others. Modern children will love the Peppers just as their grandparents did.
