Cousin Ann's Stories For Children

With Color Illustrations By Stevie French

BY ANN PRESTON, EDITED BY RICHARD BEARDS

Brief Description:
Ann Preston (1813-1872) is best known as a medical pioneer Quaker activist. Though Cousin Ann's Stories for Children is 162 years old, it still speaks to contemporary concerns. In its address "To My Little Readers" she explains, "I thought I would write a little book, and that would be a good way to speak with you, though I am far away." What Cousin Ann speaks of is eating healthily, avoiding tobacco, abhorring slavery, treating others generously and honestly as well as appreciating the bounty and beauty of God's creation. Edited by Richard Beards of Temple University specializing in Victorian Studies and Children's Literature and Folklore . One of the new Illustrations shown here.
