Welcome to Litsy!

Published in 1749, my preconceived notions of sermons were dashed when a gaggle of young girls fought tooth and nail for an apple out of a whole basket of them. Then each little brat began to share her own secret vice - envy, vanity, snubbery, etc in order to cleanse herself from all sin. I liked them better when they were fighting.

In this 1765 printing of her 1749 original, Sarah Fielding (1710-68) traces the development of nine girls under the guidance of their governess, Mrs Teachum. The first English novel intended for children, the book attempts to encourage young women to pursue lives of virtue, friendship and benevolence.

Pandoras! I know some of these have been published by Oxford, in fact, these were in storage a long time and I ended up buying an Oxford Wild Irish Girl!There is a discussion of Pandoras on Library Thing from 2008.
