Mary Vivian Hughes Livres

Molly Hughes's account of her life in Victorian London has become a classic of autobiographical writing. Now A London Child of the 1870s, A London Girl of the 1880s, and A London Home of the 1890s are available for the first time in a single paperback volume. As witty and charming as on publication, this perceptive trilogy traces her early life from schooldays to motherhood, and shows that `Victorian children did not have such a dull time as is usually supposed',

The young womanhood of a teacher and writer is recalled, including her marriage, career, and travels in turn-of-the-century Europe and the United States.
