A grandmother looks back on her girlhood in a busy, well-to-do household, beginning with the airing of the best bedroom for the visit of her own formidable grandmother, held over the children as a threat by every nursery-maid. Episodes of nursery mischief, lessons, illnesses and family occasions follow, each with its gentle moral for young readers.
A charming picture of nineteenth-century childhood, written for girls who liked true-seeming family stories. Download the free EPUB.
