What is the meadow? What does Kit think about the place?

Kit loves
the Great Meadows, those green, wide open spaces that remind her of home. Very little else in
Connecticut is reminiscent of Barbados, so this is a sight for sore eyes. It's also a place,
indeed the only place in Wethersfield, where Kit can feel like she truly belongs.

As Kit stands all alone in the midst of a sea of waving grass, her mind reaches back to
certain features of the Barbadian landscape she left behind; the sugar cane fields and the
endless reach of the ocean as it stretches out to the golden horizon.

It is
in the Great Meadows that Kit will first meet Hannah, the Witch of Blackbird Pond herself, whose
friendship will come to mean so much to her. It's also the place where Kit will teach little
Prudence Cruff how to read.
