Robin Redbreast: A Story for Girls
Mrs. Molesworth, one of the most popular Victorian writers for children, wrote Robin Redbreast for older girls, and it was published with six illustrations by Robert Barnes. The story is set near the small country town of Thetford, where a red house in a lane has been nicknamed Robin Redbreast and where the daughters of local families attend two quite different private schools. When an imperious old lady, Lady Myrtle, takes an interest in the girls, friendships, family pride and a long-buried story come to the surface, and the heroines must learn what honesty and generosity demand. Gentle humor and careful observation of character mark this story of girlhood. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
