This is Molly Hughes' autobiographical account of her life in Victorian London. A London Child of the 1870s, A London Girl of the 1880s, and A London Home of the 1890s are available here in a single paperback volume. The perceptive trilogy traces her early life through schooldays, studies, and travels abroad, to the closing years of the last century, when she was married and bringing up a family of her own, showing that Victorian children did not have such a dull time as is usually supposed.
London Child of the 1870s is an autobiography.
The remarkable New York Times bestseller! It happens every year before homecoming -- the list is posted all over school. Two girls are picked from each grade. One is named the prettiest, one the ugliest. The girls who aren't picked are quickly forgotten. The girls who are become the center of attention, and each reacts differently to the experience. With THE LIST, Siobhan Vivian deftly takes you into the lives of eight very different girls struggling with issues of identity, self-esteem, and the judgments of their peers. Prettiest or ugliest, once you're on the list, you'll never be the same.

For millennia she has been viewed as ane xquisite agent of extermination. But who was she?
