DESCRIPTION:
Cute. this was a cute little story for a Cute. queentulie this was a cute little story for a 4 year old. it was about 9 pages long and only took a few minutes to read.. year old. it was about 9 pages long and only took a few minutes to read.. Typical of the moralistic childrens tales of the period, but not done as well as Aesop B Ward I really wanted to like this children's story as I so admire the Brontë sisters talent, but this one fell too far short of expectstions. It reads like an adult trying to be a child and failingits about a little frog who learns the lesson that being a good friend is more important that being beautiful. What makes it even less effective is that today's children are not as in touch with nature, i.e. frogs, spiders and morning glory flowers as in Brontë's time, unless they live on a farm, so there is very little for a modern city kid to relate to.It. A Sweet Story for Victorian Girls Charlotte Henley Babb Victorian books for children carry the same glimpse into the culture of the times that our own children's books do, only it's easier to see it from this perspective of a hundred years or so. I was hoping for more insight, but it is what it is. I'm interested in fairy tales, and thought this might be more than an anthropomorphication of animals and flowers, but it isn't.
