Books with title The Carved Lions

It is already a long time since I was a little girl. Sometimes, when I look out upon the world and see how many changes have come about, how different many things are from what I can remember them, I could believe that a still longer time had passed since my childhood than is really the case. Sometimes, on the contrary, the remembrance of things that then happened comes over me so very vividly, so very real-ly, that I can scarcely believe myself to be as old as I am. I can remember things in my little girlhood more clearly than many in later years. This makes me hope that the story of some part of it may interest children of to-day, for I know I have not forgotten the feelings I had as a child. And after all, I believe that in a great many ways children are very like each other in their hearts and minds, even though their lives may seem very different and very far apart.

When two real life carved lions from the east side are offered as a present to a British home, the youngsters of the shanty are mystified, particularly when the lions become so real and watched over them. This is a marvelous story for little ladies but clings to a bit of maturity. The Carved Lions consists of: Old Days; A Happy Evening; Coming Events; All Settled; An Unpromising Beginning; A New World; Gathering Clouds; 'Nobody-Nobody'; Out in the Rain; Taking Refuge; Kind Friends; and Good News. Mary Louisa Molesworth, née Stewart was a British author of tales for kids who drafted using the appellation of Mrs Molesworth. Her first books, for matured bookworms, Lover and Husband to Cicely, seen under the pen name of Ennis Graham. Her appellation every now and then is seen in publications as M. L. S. Molesworth. She was born in Rotterdam, to Charles Augustus Stewart who afterwards came to be a wealthy businessman in Manchester and his spouse Agnes Janet Wilson. Mary had 3 brothers and 2 sisters. She studied at Great Britain and Switzerland: most of her childhood years was had in Manchester. In 1861, she wedded Major R. Molesworth, nephew of Viscount Molesworth; they officially separated in 1879. Mrs Molesworth is known well as an author of children’s books, including Tell Me a Story, Carrots, The Cuckoo Clock, The Tapestry Room, and A Christmas Child. She has been referred as "the Jane Austen of the nursery," at the same time The Carved Lions "is probably her masterpiece." In the opinion of Roger Lancelyn Green: Mary Louisa Molesworth personified old Victorian composition for young lasses. Intended at young lasses way older for pixies and royalties but way younger for Austen and the Brontës, stories by Mary had their share of fancy, however they also had a loads of good lessons.
