About this book
A snowy winter evening beside a bright fire introduces this 1850 collection of children's tales and verse. Mrs. Colman gathers original and selected pieces around kindness, affection and the habits of everyday life. The opening tale follows a young English violinist who spends the winter at a monastery on Mount Carmel. An elderly monk listens to his music, while turtle-doves nest among the cypresses beneath his window.
Elsewhere, Charley helps a young chimney-sweep after falling snow and ice knock him down, offering warm clothes and breakfast. His mother's response turns the incident into a lesson about dignity and compassion across differences of wealth. Short poems and conversations about music and dancing sit beside the stories, giving the collection a varied pace.
