A Victorian Family, a set of 3 trade paperbacks in slip case, by M. V. Hughes ( 1979, $4)
The three books:
A London Child of the 1870s
A London Girl of the 1880s
A London Child of the 1870s
"Molly" grew up in a middle class family in London during the late Victorian Era. She went to a women's college, and became a teacher. She would soon be developing educational training curriculum. She would write 4 books, of which 3 are included here. (Her fourth one, "A London Family Between the Wars", is not included.) She never thought her writing was anything special. The reason she gave for writing was to "show that Victorian Children did not have such a dull time as is usually supposed." (Per wikipedia). She was a shy person. Only three photos of her have ever been found, yet her books live on.
Look for this set in the biog. section.
