Tell Me a Story
"Tell Me a Story" from Mary Louisa Molesworth. English writer of children's stories (1839-1921).
My New Home (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press)
Mary Louisa Molesworth (1839-1921) was a Scottish writer. Her first novels, Lover and Husband (1869) to Cicely (1874), appeared under the pseudonym of Ennis Graham. She typified late Victorian writing for girls. Aimed at girls too old for fairies and princesses but too young for Austen and the Bronts, books by Molesworth had their share of amusement, but they also had a good deal of moral instruction. The girls reading Molesworth would grow up to be mothers; thus, the books emphasized Victorian notions of duty and self-sacrifice. She is best known as a writer of books for the young, such as Tell Me a Story (1875), Carrots (1876), The Cuckoo Clock (1877), The Tapestry Room: A Child's Romance (1879), and A Christmas Child (1880). She has been called the Jane Austen of the nursery, while The Carved Lions (1895) is probably her masterpiece. Her other works include: Rosy (1882), Us: An Old Fashioned Story (1885), and The Rectory Children (1889).

The book, published in 1902, is part of Molesworth's wide body of work, which includes a number of novels and stories for children.

"Fairies Afield" perfectly encapsulates the essence of beloved children's books with its themes of friendship, magic, and youthful innocence.

British Women Poets of the Long Eighteenth Century
This anthology gathers 368 poems by 80 British women poets of the long eighteenth century. Few of these poems have been reprinted since originally published, and all are crucial to understanding fully the literary history of women writers. Paula R. Backscheider and Catherine E. Ingrassia demonstrate the enormous diversity of poetry produced during this time by organizing the poems in three broad and deliberately overlapping categories: by genre, establishing that women wrote in all of the forms that men did with equal mastery and creativity; by theme, offering a revisionary look at the range of topics these writers addressed, including war, ecology, friendship, religion, and the stages of li...
