Surprise Island

Gertrude Chandler Warner

As a girl, Gertrude Chandler Warner would sit for hours outside her home marveling as trains chugged through her sleepy hill town, Putnam, Conn. One day, peering in through the window of a stalled caboose, she made out a stove, a small table, cracked cups and a tin coffee pot whistling steam. What might it be like to sit at the table, she thought, to live in such a place?

The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner

“Benny discovered his beloved ‘pink cup.’” This illustration appeared in color in the first edition of the original 1924 version of “The Boxcar Children.” / Dorothy Lake Gregory

The original book tells the story of the orphaned Alden siblings (Henry, Jessie, Violet and Benny), who strike out on their own and find refuge in an abandoned boxcar, which they gussy up with treasures (cups, hay beds, a pitcher with a small chip in its “nose”) from a nearby dump.
