About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 54 full-page plates by Thomas Gainsborough, Francis Grant and William Powell Frith. A woman of twenty-four marries a widower with three grown-ish children and a house that has run itself badly for years, and gets almost everything wrong before she gets it right. Yonge lived her whole life in one Hampshire village, taught Sunday school there for seventy-one years, and gave the proceeds of her books to missionary ships — and wrote domestic mistakes better than anyone of her generation. Fifty-four plates after Frith and Grant open the domestic interiors of the age, the painted rooms and marriages that Yonge's chronicle of mistakes sets out to correct.
