About This Book

A framed collection of short moral tales presented as bedtime letters to a group of children, in which a caregiver reads stories that mix lighthearted scenes and earnest Christian instruction. Episodes follow youngsters — including a kind lame boy and village companions — through vignettes such as rescuing a wounded dove, learning caution and patience, confronting pride and ill temper, and a fairy-tale interlude, each illustrating virtues like charity, humility, self-control, and prayer. The volume balances playful domestic detail with explicit moral lessons, often ending with gentle admonition and spiritual consolation intended to encourage good conduct and reliance on faith.

"Aunt Fanny."

And so the Big Nightcap Letters were ended; and the children went off to bed good, thankful, and content, and rose the next day good, thankful, and content.

Pray Heaven, dear little reader, you may always do the same.

THE END.

Her Juvenile "Writings have a charm of historical interest thrown around them, which cannot fail to render her works as much admired by young people as by those more advanced."

Transcriber's Notes:

Obvious punctuation errors repaired.

Starting on page 103, the text changes a character's name from "Dinah" to "Binah." This was retained as in another of this series, the character's name is indeed Binah there.

The remaining corrections made are indicated by dotted lines under the corrections. Scroll the mouse over the word and the original text will appear.
