Compiled in 1911 as a tribute to the editors’ own mother, this little calendar gives a short passage for each day of the year about mothers, children and home. Poets, preachers and essayists are all drawn on, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Donald G. Mitchell among them, in lines meant to be read in the years when little children cling to a mother’s skirts.
