About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 58 full-page plates by Augustus Egg, William Powell Frith and Richard Redgrave. A widow's son and daughter persuade her to move back to the family home she left, and the family — grandfather, cousins, the whole arrangement — closes over them. Yonge lived her whole life in one Hampshire village and taught Sunday school there for seventy-one years; the subtitle is Domineering, and the domineering is done by children who mean nothing but good. Fifty-eight plates, among them Munch and Hughes, trace childhood memory and family duty across a century and a half of painting, a fitting visual counterpart to Yonge's quiet story of a household closing over a widow and her children.
