Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Book of Golden Deeds of All Times and All Lands The "Book of Golden Deeds" first appeared in 1864. In 1862 Charlotte Yonge and her mother had removed to Elderfield, Otterbourne, Hampshire - the house which was to be the home of the author until her death. It is described as "a pretty cottage in the midst of a large, old-fashioned garden." Miss Yonge had then for many years been a favourite writer, her "Heir of Redclyffe" and "Daisy Chain" having been published respectively nine and six years before her migration from the house where she had spent her childhood. Her mother lived for six years longer, and during this period, marked by the studious retirement that she preferred, her indefatigable pen added, besides the "Book of Golden Deeds," many original works to her list. They included "The Dove in the Eagle´s Nest," which has just been reprinted also in this series, and "The Clever Woman of the Family." In the year following her mother´s death, Charlotte took her only tour abroad, for she was not fond of travelling, not even to the extent of going to London or paying visits to her friends. She was often closely tied to her home by the illness of those of her own circle; and her comparative outward inactivity helps no doubt to account for her literary dispatch and the amount of work she got through. In all, it has been computed that she wrote over one hundred and fifty books; and at the beginning, when she cannot have been much more than eighteen, she produced in one year as many as four novels and story-books for the young. She was born at Otterbourne on the 11th August, 1823, and she died there on 8th April, 1891. Miss Yonge seems to have been an irrepressible story-teller, and a sincere and moral story-teller, from the very first. She began in the nursery, and with her the taste and faculty for it were inborn. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
