Sinopsis

A cup of sweets, that can never cloy: or, delightful tales for good children is a charming anthology, drawing upon timeless themes of virtue, morality, and the whimsical nature of childhood. Within this collection lies a diverse spectrum of literary forms, from fables and allegories to moral parables, each contributing to a mosaic that captures the essence of early 19th-century children's literature. The works invite exploration into the tender joys and moral lessons prevalent in this era, with each piece offering unique excitement and contemplative rewards. The tales remain captivating through their varied narratives that children can enjoy, simulating imagination while imparting enduring lessons. Within its pages, contributions from noteworthy authors Elizabeth Sandham and Elizabeth Semple are interwoven, creating a vibrant tapestry of insights. Sandham and Semple both contributed significantly to the literary movement of didactic children's literature, aimed at educating and entertaining through engaging storytelling. Their stories grace this collection with nuanced perspectives, each drawing from the broader cultural and historical context of their time. Together, these voices imbue the anthology with a rich, multifaceted look into the education of young minds at the turn of the 19th century. This anthology is a must-read for those wishing to traverse a landscape of historical context and narrative diversity. As readers journey through each tale, they discover profound educational value that intertwines entertaining storytelling with moral instruction. The collection serves as an engaging dialogue among authors of its time, inviting contemporary readers to reflect on societal values through multifarious lenses. A cup of sweets offers a delightful and thought-provoking plunge into a bygone era of children's literature, profoundly rewarding those who venture into its enriching stories.

    What real parents are saying … 
    “My high-energy toddler twins are asleep in 15 minutes. Bedtime used to take nearly 2 hours—but with Rocket’s calming narration and the beautiful stories from the Yawnimals box set, our nights have totally transformed. They YAWN on cue when Rocket YAWNS, and they’re asleep before the story ends.”  
    - Heather Schalk, Toddler Toolkit Podcast, Mother of 2 toddlers 
    “Their favorites are Amanda the Panda (they love the journey), Benny the Bear (truly magical for relaxation), and Lincoln the Lizard (hello, Monster Trucks!).” 
    “The stories are soothing, my toddlers love the illustrations, and this is now our must-have bedtime ritual. I can’t recommend this enough—it’s a total lifesaver for tired parents.”
