Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Here a Little and There a Little: Essays, Sketches and Detached Thoughts It seems fitting that this little book should contain a short sketch of the author. Anne Walter Maylin was born in London, England, on the 19th of September, 1806. She was the eldest child and only daughter of Thomas and Sarah Walter Maylin, there being two younger brothers, Charles and Edward, whom she outlived. She was a remarkably precocious child, having learned her alphabet between the ages of eighteen and twenty months, and being able to read and write correspondingly early. When very young she was in the habit of writing little books containing original verses, stories, dialogues, puzzles, riddles, etc., for the amusement and instruction of her brothers, which were remarkable for one of her years. A few of her letters are subjoined, the first one being written before she attained her seventh year; it and the others are in a round childish hand, in very large characters: My Dear Mamma: I will try always to be a good girl, and I hope to improve. I sometimes go up stairs and think how wrong I must have been in being so unkind to you; sometimes I cry about it when I am in bed. I pray´d yesterday that God might bless you and make me a good child. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
