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.
