Sinossi

In "Elsie and the Raymonds," Martha Finley delivers a captivating narrative that explores themes of family, virtue, and social responsibility, all wrapped in a richly descriptive literary style characteristic of the 19th-century American moral tale. Set within a context of genteel society, the book follows the lives of Elsie Dinsmore and her interactions with the Raymond family, illustrating the importance of moral integrity and personal character. Finley weaves together anecdotal vignettes that reflect the era's values while simultaneously addressing societal expectations through the lens of youthful innocence and wisdom. Martha Finley, an influential figure in children's literature, possessed a profound understanding of the educational needs of her time, a background that informed her writing. Growing up in a religious household, Finley's experiences undoubtedly inspired her to write "Elsie and the Raymonds" as a didactic tool, encouraging young readers to embrace moral fortitude and compassion in their lives. Her creation of the Elsie Dinsmore character has made a lasting impact, cementing her place in the pantheon of American authors who sought to instill moral values through literature. I highly recommend "Elsie and the Raymonds" to readers seeking a blend of entertainment and moral reflection. Finley'Äôs engaging storytelling and vivid characters not only provide an enchanting reading experience but also invite readers to contemplate the significance of virtues in their own lives. It remains a classic work that resonates with both its historical context and its timeless messages.

    Little Miss Muffet Sat on a tuffet, Eating of curds and whey. There came a great spider and sat down beside her and frightened Miss Muffet away.    
    This odd little nursery rhyme is familiar to us all but have you ever wondered, like I have, about what Miss Muffet was thinking as she sat dreamily eating her curds and whey?  And what are curds and whey, anyway? Her tuffet?  would that be a piece of furniture or a piece of her anatomy?  And of course the large spider, what was she thinking? I'll bet she was as scared as Miss Muffet !!   
      Well, Frank Baum, the beloved author of the Wizard of Oz series, finally tells us the whole story about Miss Muffet and her little known struggle for freedom from the many nursemaids who watched her constantly.  True, her parents were very rich but their sad little girl, Muffet, was never allowed to do anything fun at all like run in the grass or play in the mud as she longed to do.  Will she succeed? Listen and find out.
