Written to beguile long hours of illness and to leave a record for her children, this miscellany gathers a mother’s verses and prose sketches: memories of the old homestead, the old school house and the village graveyard, the moral vignettes of Midnight Scenes, the history of a household, and lines composed while recovering from brain fever. Grief, faith and memory run through every page.
A heartfelt period piece of mid-nineteenth-century sentimental writing, for readers interested in the private voices of Victorian-era women. Download the free EPUB.
