About the author

She eventually took over the management of her father's estate in Ireland and dedicated herself to writing novels that encouraged the kind treatment of Irish tenants and the poor by their landlords.

Reviews

[Kathryn McConaughy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an excellent collection of Maria Edgeworth's fiction for young ladies. If you are a fan of Louisa May Alcott, L. M. Montgomery, or Grace Livingston Hill's earlier works, you will really enjoy this book.
