About this book
Family storytelling, seasonal customs and literary imitation share space in this varied collection by Juliana Horatia Ewing. The opening tale follows Dorothy as she writes to Eleanor about a mysterious affair, beginning with her journal account of a New Year's ball in 1813 and her meeting with George Manners. Elsewhere, the collection includes fairy tales adapted from German, stories translated from Turkish, travel accounts and a remembrance of Margaret Gatty.
The practical and explanatory pieces bring a different voice to the volume. A passage on basket-making describes willow frames and woven osiers, while the May-Day essay considers flowers, childhood festivities and the difference between old and new calendar reckoning.
