As a member of a family of writers, Traill was influenced by both her literary heritage and her deep respect for the environment. Her experiences as a settler and a mother provide an authentic backdrop to the charming narrative, embedding it with personal insight and a profound appreciation for nature, survivorship, and the roles of women. "Lady Mary and Her Nurse" is highly recommended for readers of all ages, especially those intrigued by Canadian history or the intertwining of nature and narrative.
