商品簡介
A flicker of firelight, the hush of a nursery at dusk-within these pages, the ordinary transforms into the marvellous, as household folklore characters and mystical helpers slip quietly into the lives of children and families. Here, tales spun with the warmth of home and the shimmer of Victorian imagination invite readers young and old to rediscover a world where kindness, benevolence, and moral lessons for children are as vital as the air we breathe. Once consigned to the shadows of literary history, this remarkable collection was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. Each story, lovingly restored for today's and future generations, captures the enduring magic of 19th-century children's literature while offering a gentle, timeless guidance for the heart. These stories, rich in household lore and the gentle mysteries of everyday life, transport readers to a time when the simplest acts of goodness could summon unseen friends and mystical household helpers. The tales are woven with the fabric of moral tales for children, gently illuminating the values that shape character and nurture the spirit. Whether read aloud as children's bedtime stories or cherished by classic-collection buyers, this edition delights in the small wonders of home and the quiet heroism of kindness. Steeped in the traditions of Victorian children's stories, these narratives resonate with the universal longing for belonging and the comfort of stories about home. They offer not only enchanting entertainment but also a window into the cultural imagination of a bygone era, where stories about character and benevolence shaped generations. This edition is not just a reprint - it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure, thoughtfully presented to honour the legacy of children's folklore stories and ensure their magic endures for years to come.
