Milly-Molly-Mandy Stories

Product Information

The stories themselves are adorable. Simple, soft and very small adventures that even though they involve a lot of language that might not be familiar to a contemporary reader, these are stories that work because of how they feel. They are charming and gentle and simply told things, often centring around a task or an errand or a circumstance, and I did enjoy them. It doesn't mater if some of the phrases are unknown because these are good stories. Gentle, rich and lovely stories. Lankester Brisley could write, she really could.

At the age of 20, Joyce and her two sisters had pictures hung at the Royal Academy - a great honour indeed. But painting was not Joyce's forte - she preferred to draw illustrations. First published in 1925, Milly-Molly-Mandy's stories now have a nostalgic charm that will appeal to parents and grandparents who will remember them from their own childhood. However, these gentle stories of activities such as giving a party or setting out on a picnic, told in simple and direct language, still offer much to attract today's young readers.Another classic that I bypassed in childhood, but unlike some, it stands the test of time for an adult reader.
