S. W. : A Visit to a Farm-house

Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 5 April 1845: 'For Mr Horne's storybook, I like some of the stories & think it a pretty book. A few children of six years old might be too old for it, -- but, in general, I do not quarrel with the fitnesses [...] I remember a little book which was a favourite in our nursery, called "A visit to a farm-house," with precisely the same characteristics, & a better & more interesting general construction.'

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Moulton-Barrett family (children)     Print: Book
