The
books started with a good introduction of Madeline...
In
an old house in Paris that was covered with vines lived
twelve little girls in two straight lines. In two straight
lines they broke their bread and brushed their teeth and
went to bed.
They
smiled at the good and frowned at the bad and sometimes
they were very sad. They left the house at half past nine
in two straight lines in rain or shine- the smallest one
was Madeline.
