"Second Plays" by A.A. Milne is a compilation of plays from the beginning of the 1900s, displaying Milne’s talent for combining wit with meaningful thoughts on people and their connections. The book contains pieces such as "Make-Believe," a play for children, which highlights imagination, family, and thrilling escapades. The book starts with Milne discussing his views on playwriting, as he playfully teases critics and the world of theater. He introduces "Make-Believe," a children's play set in the Hubbard family's bustling playroom, where Rosemary decides to create a Christmas play. Her imaginative journey, along with her conversations with James, the butler, and her plans to get the whole family involved, sets off a chain of events filled with amusement and fantasy, creating a lighthearted mood and welcoming readers into a realm of childhood innocence and creativity.
