Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lilian´s Golden Hours The well-known Rowtor Rocks, in Derbyshire, and the Ruined House of Eyre at their base, are the true scene of this story, and gave me its first idea. I conceived that the former, with their natural passages and cavernous hollows, and the latter, with its mournful century of ruin, made together an admirable locality for a childs story, as affording that due amount of romance which at once interests, and is effective as means for the instilment of educative truth. Apart from this, the story is purely ideal; and the general scenery that of the moorlands of Yorkshire. As usual, I have not worked without holding the purposes of abstract truth and its principles in view. My little crowd of animal life is introduced with a higher purpose than merely to amuse; for, looking at the revelations hourly made by science in relation to animal life, there seems to be an educative need in regard thereto that claims consideration. Once raise the human idea of animal life, and of its relation to ourselves, and our tenderness and mercy to dumb sentientness must grow. In this sense, therefore, to surround children with household pets, to teach them to show generosity, tenderness, humanity thereto, is an educative process of the noblest kind. As by a natural law, the finer virtues enlarge their own bounds, and thus the tenderness which has first displayed itself to a dependant animal, shall in time minister to the needs, or show corrective mercy to a human being. I speak not without reason, for few, perhaps, know better than I, both from observation and literary experience, the sources from which the brutality and apathy of our lower classes, in especial, arise.
