Juliana Ewing gives her readers a charming 19th century novel suited for a relaxing afternoon of reading under a shade tree. Juliana Horatia Ewing was a 19th century writer of children's books. Her books were considered to be the first really well written books for children in English literature. Mary's Meadow first appeared in Aunt Judy's Magazine from November 1883 to March 1884.

Juliana Ewing's stories for children empathize her strong Anglican faith and her loving insights into children's lives.
