☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeLittle Miss Muffet goes fishing and catches unusually wriggling worms, prompting concern from adults around her. When she becomes ill, a doctor is called, and various mishaps ensue involving neighbors Miss Peach and the Jenkins family, as well as confusion about a telegram. Ultimately, Millie is taken in by a kindly couple (Eph and Madame Curall) who operate a hunting lodge, where she charms them into letting her stay permanently by cleaning their trailer and winning their affection. The story concludes with Millie's new guardians taking her to a diner, where she is recognized by someone from her past who remembers her as a resourceful child.
When Miss Watkins, a deranged former principal, escapes jail vowing vengeance on Little Miss Muffet, Millie finds herself trapped at a private school run by the sinister Miss Georgia Peach and Mr. Rico—who seem less interested in protecting her than in exploiting her fear. With only the loyal caretaker Eph standing between her and danger, Millie must navigate the dark corridors of the school while Miss Peach dismisses her warnings and blocks every attempt at safety.
When Miss Georgia Peach schemes to take over the school—and gain control of young Millie Muffet's inheritance—she'll stop at nothing to drive out the loyal caretaker Old Eph, who stands between her and her prize. As Millie falls ill and mysterious threats close in, Eph refuses to abandon the girl, even when Miss Peach invokes the law to force him from the premises. With the Sheriff called and time running short, Old Eph must find a way to protect Millie and expose the villain's plot before it's too late.
Little Miss Muffet faces a troubling scheme when the villainous Miss Georgia Peach and Mr. Rico convince a disreputable doctor, Dr. Felix Quackenworse, to examine her—hoping to have her committed to an institution for mental cases by falsely claiming she's having hallucinations. Fortunately, Doctor Jenks learns of Quackenworse's fraudulent credentials and whisks Millie away to his hunting lodge with Old Eph as her caretaker, where peace and quiet begin to restore her health. As Millie's fever breaks and her strength returns, she finds solace in simple moments with her loyal companions.
Little Miss Muffet settles in at Doctor Jenks' hunting lodge with Old Eph as her caretaker, where she trades formal schooling from Mrs. Samantha Jenks for practical lessons in nature and self-reliance. When a radio report suggests a tragedy at sea, Eph's skepticism about the news—and his determination to look after Millie—sets the stage for how her future might unfold.
When Mrs. Jenks insists that Millie leave her beloved dog Hash behind on a trip to town, the girl makes a fateful choice—she and Hash slip away to join Old Eph and Madame Curall, who are about to hit the road in their medicine show trailer. But Miss Watkins, a determined pursuer, is still on their trail, and Millie must evade capture while the trailer makes its escape toward the open road and whatever fortune awaits them down south.
Little Miss Muffet joins Old Eph and Madame Curall on the road in their trailer after leaving the Jenks, but when two suspicious crooks—Willie and Harry, the Half-Wit—arrive at a lunch stop with designs on Old Eph's money, Hash the dog senses trouble before anyone else does. As the trailer park becomes an unexpected battleground between honest travelers and would-be thieves, Little Miss Muffet must navigate the dangers lurking in this mobile world she's come to call home.
