The Houghtons are close by at Gladstone Farms, and Penny is impressed.
The Parrish family are settling in at West Point, where David has just started school. (from the inside flap)ĭreams of Glory picks up a mere two months after Star-Spangled Summer. But besides that, the winter for Penny is a delicious whirl of hops at the Point, a trip to Florida with the Houghtons, and at last June week-and romance.ĭREAMS OF GLORY is a delightful continuation of Penny Parrish's STAR-SPANGLED SUMMER adventures, and a must for her old friends and new readers. And it does seem that this time Penny's mind is really made up! There is near tragedy for Penny's brother David, which luckily ends happily. This adventure definitely decides Penny on a career in the theatre. Penny-who can get herself into more jams than anyone else-gets lost in the crowd, and by chance meets a famous actress. There's excitement from the very beginning when the Parrishes visit the Houghtons at their New York penthouse, and attend the Army-Notre Dame football game.
So it is not surprising that the two girls are together constantly. And happily, Penny's friend Carrol Houghton lives in an enormous barn of a place not far up the Hudson from the Point. By one of those happy accidents best known to fiction, Major Parrish has been transferred from Fort Arden, Kansas, to West Point, where all concerned can keep an eye on David, the family's cadet. Here again is another story of the adventures of the irrepressible Penny Parrish and her delightful family.
