Mrs. Mary Martha Sherwood
The Fairchild Family
Paperback
(Forgotten Books )
Excerpt from The Fairchild Family
The father of Mrs. Sherwood - or, to give her her maiden name, Mary Butt - was a clergyman. He had a beautiful country living called Stanford, in Worcestershire, not far from Malvern, where Mary was born on May 6, 1775. She had one brother, a year older than herself, and a sister several years younger, whose name was Lucy.
Mary Butt's childhood, in her beautiful country home, was very happy. She was extremely tall for her age, strong and vigorous, with glowing cheeks and dark eyes and very long hair of a bright auburn, which she tells us her mother had great pleasure in arranging. She and her brother Marten were both beautiful children; but no one thought Mary at all clever, or fancied what a mark she would make in the world by her writings.
