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.

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.
