Produktbeschreibung
Emily Sarah Holt (1836-1893) was an English novelist who wrote about 50 books, mainly for children. "Our Little Lady" is one of around 30 books that she wrote about life and faith in the Middle Ages. The story "Our Little Lady" is told from the perspective of Avice, one of the elder women in the book and she recounts how she had become a nursery-maid in the Royal Palace, first at Windsor, and then later at Westminster. Central to the story is one of the princesses she had to look after, "our little lady", and who was a most beautiful child, but had been born deaf and dumb (but for three words that she could utter). She had various gestures with which she communicated, but the sadness was, that they never could teach her to pray. Yet they were sure she spoke to Christ in her own way and that when she died as a young child she spoke to God in Heaven. This edition retains the original illustrations and contains several helpful footnotes.
Autorenporträt
Emily Sarah Holt was an English author who lived from 1836 to 1893. She was born on April 25, 1836, in Stubbylee, Bacup, Lancashire. She was the oldest daughter of John Holt and Judith Mason of Greens, whose husband was a judge for Lancashire and the West Riding. She is said to have gone to school at Oxford. She got sick in late 1893 while she was in Harrogate and went to go live with her brother in Balham, London. She died there on Christmas Day. An obelisk marks the spot where she was buried in the Church of St. Saviour's, Bacup. Holt had written more than fifty books, most of them for kids. The BML catalogue lists 52 of Holt's books as historical stories, which is what most of her work is. Protestantism is a theme in Holt's work.
