Mary Molesworth Libros

Mary Louisa Molesworth, escribiendo como la Sra. Molesworth, fue una prolífica autora de cuentos infantiles que capturó magistralmente la esencia de la era victoriana tardía. Sus obras, a menudo denominadas la "Jane Austen de la guardería", equilibraban el entretenimiento con una importante instrucción moral, preparando a los jóvenes lectores para los deberes de la edad adulta al enfatizar virtudes como el deber y el autosacrificio. Una característica distintiva de su escritura implicaba faltas de ortografía intencionales para evocar la autenticidad del habla infantil, con el objetivo de imitar sus patrones lingüísticos. Más allá de sus relatos realistas, Molesworth también exploró lo sobrenatural, añadiendo una capa de misterio e intriga a sus contribuciones literarias.

It was not their home. That was easy to be seen by the eager looks of curiosity and surprise on the two little faces inside the heavy travelling carriage. Yet the faces were grave, and there was a weary look in the eyes, for the journey had been long, and it was not for pleasure that it had been undertaken. The evening was drawing in, and the day had been a somewhat gloomy one, but as the light slowly faded, a soft pink radiance spread itself over the sky. They had been driving for some distance through a flat monotonous country; then, as the ground began to rise, the coachman relaxed his speed, and the children, without knowing it, fell into a half slumber.
