Mary Louisa Molesworth wrote everything from adult novels and ghost stories to children's entertainment with a hearty Scottish dose of instruction. The Rectory Children upholds her belief in children's dramas played out in happy surroundings. A new family moves into the old rectory in the quiet little town of Seacove. The neglected port is home to a lonely "little maiden" named Celestina, and the Rev. Vane's three children arrive as just the change Celestina needs. But the girl her age, Bridget, is the opposite of Celestina's sweet nature. "I like to be useful to mother," Celestina says -- to which Mrs. Molesworth adds with all but a cluck of disapproval: "This was a new idea to Bridget." The bad little girl is headed toward a near disaster that will lead her to promise she'll "never be naughty again." Their story exemplifies all that made Mrs. Molesworth a children's favorite in her time. She eased her young readers from silly make-believe to more adult fare with books like The Rectory Children, set in the real world. It's the world at its best, though, where eyes sparkle, love abounds, and "cheerful patience" wins the day. Children earn their place with obedience. And "I don't know that it was altogether a bad thing for them," Mrs. Molesworth throws in like a pinch of salt in the oatmeal.

We have selected the greatest Christmas novels, short stories and fairy tales for this joyful and charming holiday season, for all those who want to keep the spirit of Christmas alive with a heartwarming tale.A Christmas Child is an idealistic accounting of the life of young Ted who was born on Christmas. It describes life in a much early time in England. Ted is a good kind child. He is interested and attracted to many things of beauty and worth. Ted always tries to make his mother happy and he is always polite. He is always helpful and kind to his little sister. Ted collected things of interest to him, and had a room with a museum in his house, where he gave tours by appointment.

The familiar appearance of Mrs. Molesworth's gift of delight awakens grateful anticipations which are rarely, if ever, disappointed. The literary work in A Christmas Posy is intrinsically characteristic, and the same must be acknowledged with respect to Mr. Crane's illustrations. Still the stories, a group of six, are variable in conception. Thus their young readers will be pleased to read them, though the modern parental tendency leans towards a quicker brightness than appeals in the opening story.
