The book features the twin brothers Jimmy and Johnny Plummer, affectionately known as "the Jimmyjohns," as they embark on imaginative adventures filled with humor and mischief in their quaint, rural setting. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to the charming Prairie-rose Cottage and the twin brothers as they set out on a playful journey, pretending to ride wooden horses to Boston. The twins are depicted as inseparable, often mistaken for one another due to their identical appearance. Their antics continue as they interact with their siblings and neighbors, leading to humorous situations that highlight their playful nature. The opening segment sets the tone for whimsical storytelling and playful character interactions, inviting readers into a world of childhood imagination and familial love.
