First published in 1928, this edition is a complete and unabridged reprint of the first edition. It includes a preface by author Shirley Hughes and a short biography of the author.
I don't remember this book from my childhood. I don't know if I ever read it/was read to. But my Mother purchased it for my first daughter, and I read it aloud to her.
She loved it.
It became one of the first chapter books she confidently, and willingly, read alone. You can't fault that.
Ten years later and I'm reading it aloud to the next child. And she's just as enthralled.
There is an honesty and innocence to the stories. There isn't A Lesson to be taught. No Bad Guys, conflict, protagonists, sudden twists. M-M-M isn't naughty, her friends aren't bullies, she doesn't "make mistakes". The author isn't taking us on a Moral Journey. They are just stories of a little girl's life with her Mother and Father and Grandma and Grandpa and Aunty and Uncle, and her friends and neighbours. The stories may be old - pennies and frocks and pony-traps - but they hold up against the test of time. M-M-M does errands, earns pocket money, plays with her friends, goes blackberrying, willingly weeds the garden... All activities of children from every generation. M-M-M is simply a good little girl.
They're the type of story my daughter would write - one day she got up, went to the shop, visited her friend, had a tea party, and went home, the end. A story meant for children. As an adult, I find them dull and tedious. I want the conflict and interest. I look for complexity in the story, language and plot. But it isn't there. And it isn't wanted by the child enjoying it.
As a read-aloud book, the stories have a nice lyricism and joy. They are easy to read, and easy to follow. Each of the 13 chapters has a self-contained story leading cleanly into the next, a sweet continuity and progression without too much for the young listener to remember from one night to the next. The chapter/story lengths are easily digestible. And there is a scattering of simple, sweet pencil drawings to illustrate the text. The stories are calming and meditative - no action packed or heart wrenching tragedies just as we are heading to sleep! It is a perfect book to read aloud.

Not sure how I've never read any of the Milly-Molly-Mandy books before. Just delightful and charming if you enjoy British children having gentle adventures at the turn of the last century, which I certainly do.

Sweet little stories, cute drawings, but having to repeatedly read the protagonist's three names and that of 'little-friend-Susan' over and over again in the course of reading this aloud was a bit annoying and/or tedious. This aside, an enjoyable, innocent, and charming collection of stories.

Frequently charming and really rather beautifully done, this 90th anniversary edition of the Milly-Molly-Mandy stories is a lovely thing. It's been a long time since I read Milly-Molly-Mandy and if you're the same, here's a brief refresher. Written in the 1920s, MMM is a little girl who lives with her sprawling family in a pleasant little village, and she gets into several very small and rather adorable adventures. They were written and illustrated by Joyce Lankester Brisley who was the sister of Nina K. Brisley who illustrated the Chalet School stories - and this is something that, in a nicely worded afterword, this edition told me and I made a proper 'I did not know that' face. The edition includes several of the short stories collected together and as mentioned has a lovely afterword that does something quite remarkable - it speaks to the child. It's not often you see an afterword that remembers the child audience as much as the adult, and Macmillan are to be commended for this.
The stories themselves are adorable. Simple, soft and very small adventures that even though they involve a lot of language that might not be familiar to a contemporary reader, these are stories that work because of how they feel. They are charming and gentle and simply told things, often centring around a task or an errand or a circumstance, and I did enjoy them. It doesn't mater if some of the phrases are unknown because these are good stories. Gentle, rich and lovely stories. Lankester Brisley could write, she really could.
An important thing to note is that this book also includes a lot of full colour illustrations. These are richly rendered things, full of lush and gentle detail and rather intensely evocatively. The village and the nice white cottage with the thatched roof are all there and it's all lovely. Harsher voices might call this sort of thing twee or outdated, but they're idiots and we know better. The Milly-Molly-Mandy books are gorgeous, gentle things, and in a world where that sort of thing seems somewhat hard to find, they shine. They really, really do.
I am grateful to the publisher for a review copy.

Beautiful, short and simple stories of daily countryside life!! I love this book!! the only reason that I didn't give this book 5 stars is because I forced myself to read it quickly, and this is why I didn't really enjoyed reading the Milly-Molly-Mandy Stories as much as I should have, but all the same it was a wonderfull story, and I recommend this book to anyone!!

Another classic that I bypassed in childhood, but unlike some, it stands the test of time for an adult reader.
I decided to try it to see if I would read it with my son in the next year or two. Despite it being about a girl, and a girl many many decades past, I do think he'd quite enjoy the stories about Milly-Molly-Mandy.
She's a fairly good little girl (she's no Horrid Henry), and has rather twee adventures (blackberry picking, earning money, running a shop), I really liked the writing style, and seeing the quaint language and references to pony and traps, old customs and behaviours. It felt nostalgic but I would enjoy talking to my son about times past with it.
MMM is sweet and not overly so. Her family manages to be eccentric enough to be interesting. Her little village seems rather sleepy and quiet, where everyone knows everyone else.
The illustrations are wonderful line drawings, and perfectly match the tone and style of the writing.
Thoroughly enjoyed my short journey with Edwards, and will definitely try it with my son (currently 4) before long.

A lovely trip down memory lane! I read (or was read) these stories as a child and loved them. Never seen them since but it all came flooding back, especially the parts with little friend Susan (who looked like my little friend age 6), and the booby rabbit. I remember the pictures better than the stories, probably due to my age at the time. I'd forgotten how virtuous Milly-Molly-Mandy is - all the parts about saving up her pennies to buy presents for her whole extended family must have gone in one ear and out the other. I certainly never did anything of the kind.
Thanks to Sarah for bringing this to the meet for me!

The copy I bought for my girls was like the others on the list which are cream and candy pink and beautifully illustrated. What can I say. I want to live in a world where people are kind and considerate I want to live in a utopic society where people are fair and honest and grateful for the little they have.
I want to live in Milly Moly Mandy land!!

Old fashioned and kind of two dimensional, but also really charming. The best bit is how inspiring it’s been to my daughter who has read a chapter to me each night but then spent weeks inspired and playing it out. One week she arranged a party for us with activities, food, drinks, menu and party bags, another was making everyone in the family a gift. The morals it teaches and the small, wholesome (and important) things that occupy the life of the child provide such a lovely contrast to the dopamine hiked programmes aimed at kids today - and some of the crass and vulgar books too (hello Tom Fletcher and David Walliams). We’ve had some lovely chats about it and will read others.

A multi-generation childhood favourite in our family.
I've had quite a frazzled brain in recent days and honestly these stories have been just the ticket.

Originally published in 1928, this is a collection of simple stories of a little girl living in a small village. My mother read this book when she was little. I remember her reading it to me when I was little and I thought it was the most boring book ever. Nothing ever seemed to happen, and I liked Enid Blyton's Faraway Tree books much better.
Reading it as an adult, I found it refreshingly sweet and enjoyed the subtle historical details. I think as a child, there just wasn't enough conflict or excitement for my imaginative little soul. There seems to be a focus on including each of Milly Molly Mandy's extended family in a positive way in each story, which can be a bit redundant at times for a modern reader accustomed to how stories are paced now for short attention spans. They seem to eat a lot of bread and cheese, and hardly any fruits, vegetables or meat. And a lot of things seem to cost a penny.
The book is illustrated, and in my Mom's edition, the illustrations were 3-color, adding red (and pink) to the black and white drawings by the author. The paperback I read just had black and white. But both had the map of the town at the front which both my mother and I loved as you can trace Milly Molly Mandy's "adventures."

MMM is a delightful little girl and this book is a charming account of all of her small but lovely adventures. If you are looking for a book that is a readable book for young children, that is about the little things that happen in ordinary life, that is gentle and kind-spirited, then this is the book for you. A 1001 CBYMRBYGU.

The most wonderful children’s book!!! I wish I had read this book as a child. It’s sweet, gentle and so much fun to read. The descriptions of the everyday life of a little girl are just perfect. This is my second time reading this book and I loved it even more this time. This author’s illustrations are beautiful and simply drawn. I love her style so much. Highly recommended!!

I still love this series of stories. It brings with it so many happy memories of reading as a young child.

Is this an amazing children's book? Yes. Did I also stay up until 2am just now to finish reading it as an adult? Also absolutely yes.

Want to own
Best book I have read so far. This book was written almost a hundred years ago but faithfully describes my childhood. I lived in a joint family where odds and ends were saved and were given to children to play/craft with instead of being thrown away. Just like the book, in any emergency at least one of the large family would have something stashed away which would prove to be useful.
This book is feminist without even trying. There is a capable boy neighbour but the others are all girls.
Each person in the family has a role and all are described as equally important work (both male and female ). Grandmother knits warm woollies for all. Father grows vegetables and grandfather transports and sells them in the market. Mother cooks. Aunty cleans and sews. Uncle raises chickens. And a girl who runs errands. Instead of long legs and slender prettiness, she has short legs good for running.
They are probably poor since they all live in the same house but they adjust well and use the power of 6 adult brains to work and help instead of fighting. Milly-Molly-Mandy has 6 people to ask advice from, and none of them force it on her.
Also she saves PENNIES which is a pleasant change from Enid Blyton pounds. Each time she is sent anywhere as a treat, she spends her money on individual inexpensive gifts for the whole family. Sometimes she spends it on a hobby which generates another penny. A lesson on financial prudence and in generosity.
All are poor so neighbours borrow from each other and help each other. They speak correct English without slang like smashing.
No one makes fun of anyone (unlike five find- outers)
No racism. No coloured characters but I'm sure if any were present they would be treated as one of them and not an oddity. Doesn't treat the Orient as exotic and doesn't even preach about the church. Her colour is never described and no one blushes or pales, they just keep on working. So the characters might be of any race, if not for the illustrations.
There are strict (and fair) teachers at school who are friendly outside school. Rare nowadays. And the tiny children understand why the teacher needs to be strict even if she is staying at Milly-Molly-Mandy's house.
Even her friend Susan is not her sidekick because it is she who is prominent in the rabbit incident.
The author made her own illustrations. They fit right in, but look professional.
There is a recipe for lid potatoes and a technique to make sailor girls which I am planning to try. Most of the fun the children have is in playing outside or in assisting grown ups.
When there are grown ups, no one really wants to be rich and powerful and famous. Milly-Molly-Mandy wants to run a general store.
A few quotes :
"I wish the spare room were a little bigger," said mother, and Milly-Molly-Mandy looked around gravely, and thought it really was rather small for a great-aunty.
Milly-Molly-Mandy showed her handkerchiefs with M for mother and A for aunty
"Oh", said her friend. "My mother never has her handkerchiefs marked M. She has them marked R, because her other name is Rose. What is your mother's other name?"
"Polly"
Luckily Polly is a nickname. Her mother's real name is Mary and her aunty's name is Alice so Milly-Molly-Mandy jumps up and down (in joy) several times.
(This is relatable. Once I forgot my parents names too when I was small and they asked us our parents' names in class. I only remembered the words for mother and father)
Milly-Molly-Mandy spent her (saved up) penny on a big yellow sugar stick for little friend (and guest) Susan, who broke it carefully in two and gave her half.
Recipe for lid potatoes :
Bake 2 potatoes
Cut the tops off them but not quite
Scoop out potato, mash it and mix it with a little salt, a little pepper and lots of butter
Put the filling back in and the lid back on
The girls opened the lids off the warm potatoes and ate the filling with spoons
Vegetarians can also enjoy this (even those who don't eat egg).
I am fortunate to have been to a library which had this book. I realise that everyone might not be so fortunate, so I shared a few things from the book. I hope it doesn't spoil the pleasure of reading the book if it is available.

This charming chapter book for young children was written and illustrated with line drawings by Joyce Lankester Brisley (1928). The title character is a little girl (maybe four or five years old) who lives a century ago in a rural English village with her parents ("Muvver and Farver"), grandparents, and aunt and uncle. Life is simple there, without cars, phones, or electricity. Each chapter is a standalone story which is summarized by its title (e.g., Milly-Molly-Mandy Makes a Cosy).
The content is sweet and super-innocent – everyone is nice, there are no major conflicts, and everything works out well. I don't know whether or not this remains consistent in the later books of the series – a total of six books published over forty years, during which Milly-Molly-Mandy apparently ages from about four to eight.
The series was reprinted just a few years ago and has even made it to America, though it will probably remain marginal as long as it lacks a TV series, a line of dolls, and other marketing tie-ins. I suspect that older children will be bored by Milly-Molly-Mandy, but younger children might like to be read these stories at bedtime.

This is an adorable story that suits girls ages 7-11. I think it would be great if moms read these books to their young kids to explain how different technology was 100 years ago. I loved seeing how productive Milly-Molly-Mandy is. She keeps busy and likes to work little businesses even so she can make a penny here and there. It was really great to read about the mindset a young child had back then compared to perhaps as you would see it today. There is a lot of creativity in this story and I also loved the illustrations (such beautiful details even). This was a cute story and I give it 3.75 stars. I wish I read it when I was little!

Milly Molly Mandy book was funny and good. I liked when MMM and Billy Blont said they will try to lift the world. I will give MMM four stars. It will be fun to be Milly because she gets to live with her grandma and grandpa and auntie and uncle and her mama and dad.

I absolutely loved these stories as a child so this was huge nostalgia hit for me. There is something really cosy about reading children's stories at Christmastime. All of the stories are charming and I adore the illustrations. Definitely a book I would dip in and out of.

There's nothing quite like going back and reading a book that you used to love as a kid. Still enjoyed it now.

My daughter (5y/o) enjoyed this book, but I found it quite dated, boring and tedious to read.
