The Parent’s Assistant by Maria Edgeworth is a timeless collection of moral tales for children, blending education and entertainment in Edgeworth’s signature witty and instructive style.

[Kathryn McConaughy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an excellent collection of Maria Edgeworth's fiction for young ladies. If you are a fan of Louisa May Alcott, L. M. Montgomery, or Grace Livingston Hill's earlier works, you will really enjoy this book.
