“The Boxcar Children” is a stealthy capitalist fairy tale. Work hard and you’ll be happy, and then you’ll get money.
The second time that Gertrude Chandler Warner published “The Boxcar Children,” a tale of four orphaned adventurers named Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny, the year was 1942, and the book was so successful that it erased Warner’s first version, published by Rand McNally in 1924 , from public memory.
“One warm night four children stood in front of a bakery,” the 1942 version of the story begins. “No one knew them. No one knew where they had come from.” On the first page of 1924’s “The Box-Car Children,” on the other hand, a “strange family” moves into a New England village on a hot summer day. Their mother is dead. Their father “was very drunk. He could hardly walk up the rickety steps of the old tumble-down house, and his thirteen-year-old son had to help him.
