Candy Candy

Candy is a six year old orphan who lives in a foster home near Lake Michigan with Ms. Pony and Sister Lynne (in some countries, her name is Sister Maria or Sister Mary). She was found by them when she was a baby together with Annie during a cold winter night. She frequently causes mischief with her young friends, especially with her best friend Annie. She has also got a racoon named Clynn that will accompany her in most of her future adventures. One day, Annie is adopted by rich parents the Brightons (Britter in some countries). She writes letters to Candy but soon she tells her that her parents prefer that she forget about her past. Heartbroken, Candy goes to her favorite place, Pony's Hill, to cry but soon she hears the voice of a boy, asking her: "Little girl, you are prettier when you smile than when you cry". The boy is dressed in a full Scottish outfit and carries a bagpipe. Candy is shocked by his outfit but soon they become friends and he plays the bagpipe for her. When she turns around to pick up Annie's letter, the boy mysteriously disappears. The only suggestion that it was not a dream is a brooch in the shape of an eagle with the letter "A" on it. Candy nicknames him "The Prince of the Hill" and she will daydream about this encounter all her life.
