About this book
Knitting mittens gives a family a reason to gather for stories, letters and a little theatre in Aunt Fanny's collection for children. A mother reads George's lively account of camp life while his brothers and sisters work with their needles. His jokes about food and drills mingle with their concern for him. Another story begins with Lillie's wish for a new doll and the preparations her mother and sister make for a surprise.
The collection also includes a play staged by children for an audience contributing mitten money. In Master Edward's Trial, a tutor challenges a mother's indulgence toward her proud, difficult son and objects to the way he treats servants. Domestic affection, generosity and everyday conduct connect the family scenes with the stage dialogue. Readers interested in older children's literature will find both household storytelling and a glimpse of young performers learning through a moral play.
