Excerpt from Five Little Peppers in the Little Brown House "What ever became of Polly Pepper's famous Chicken Pie, and also Phronsie's red-topped shoes?" the friends of the "Five Little Peppers " keep asking. "We have searched through all the Pepper Books, and cannot find them. Please give us those two stories again." At last all these requests are granted in this book, containing, first of all, those two stories that make the very beginning of all the records of the Pepper Family. 'Indeed, there wasn't any Pepper Family before they were written; nor any Little Brown House, not a sign of one; nor any Badgertown even, till Margaret Sidney one day wrote "Polly Pepper's Chicken Pie" and sent it to the Wide Awake Magazine. And no one could be more astonished than was she - for the record was so simple - when the editor wrote for another one just like it. So "Phronsie Pepper's New Shoes" was written.
