Mary Louisa Molesworth, ne Stewart (29 May 1839 20 January 1921) was an English writer of children's stories who wrote for children under the name of Mrs Molesworth. Mary Louisa Molesworth typified late Victorian writing for girls. Aimed at girls too old for fairies and princesses but too young for Austen and the Bronts, books by Molesworth had their share of amusement, but they also had a good deal of moral instruction. The girls reading Molesworth would grow up to be mothers; thus, the books emphasized Victorian notions of duty and self-sacrifice. All six B&W engravings by M.E.E., Mary Ellen Edwards. Mary Ellen Edwards (9 November 1838 22 December 1934), also known as MEE, was a British artist and illustrator. She contributed to many newspapers, periodicals and children's books. Mary Ellen Edwards worked and lived in both the 19th and early 20th centuries. She focused more on illustrations that conveyed emotion in a social setting, and she was extremely successful at it. Furthermore, many of her works revolve around social settings with groups of people. She was exceptional at illustrating emotion in her work, and her pieces are very powerful and easy to understand. Scarce Vintage Edition. It's the earliest edition on Worldcat but I'm not absolutely sure if its a First. According to the Britannica, it was first published in 1881. OCLC# 563778622. LOC SSS-09
