Robert Gordon Anderson's Seven O'Clock Stories is a timeless collection of twenty bedtime tales featuring three delightfully oddly-named children—Jehosophat, Marmaduke, and Hepzebiah Green—who live in a white house by the roadside.

From the mischievous antics of playmates to encounters with Mr. Scarecrow and the Man in the Moon, each tale is crafted with warmth and gentle humor.

The narrative has that nostalgic quality of classic children's literature, making it perfect for establishing a cherished bedtime routine.
This collection of fiction and imaginative storytelling is ideal for parents and caregivers seeking engaging, screen-free entertainment for children, as well as adults who appreciate vintage children's literature.
