Lydia Maria Child's warm, practical guide for mothers, from one of nineteenth-century America's most beloved writers. She covers the care, feeding, and moral upbringing of children with tenderness and hard-won common sense. Free of cant and full of real affection, it treats motherhood as both a craft and a calling. A gentle, trustworthy companion for parents, and a window into how children were raised with love in an earlier age.
