Mrs. Molesworth — one of the most admired writers of Victorian children’s fiction — brings her gentle touch to Robin Redbreast: A Story for Girls, a warm domestic tale about a young girl whose sweet nature and cheerful spirit brighten every household she enters. The robin of the title threads through the story as a symbol of good cheer and simple happiness.
Molesworth’s gift was for creating a sense of safe, pleasant domesticity while still giving her characters room to grow and change. Readers who enjoy Frances Hodgson Burnett or Juliana Horatia Ewing will find a kindred spirit in Molesworth. Download the free EPUB for this endearing and cosy Victorian girls’ tale.
