A lovely anthology collecting the short stories for children of John Aikin and his sister, Anna Laetitia Barbauld. First published 1796, this is considered an early example of children's literature.

Barbauld was a prominent poet and children's author, known for being amongst the first writers to consider children as an audience, publishing 'Lessons for Children' and 'Hymns in Prose for Children&apos.
