Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Aunt Kitty's Tales
Goon morning, my young friend! A merry Christmas, or happy New Year, or at least a pleasant holiday to you; -for holiday I hope it is, as it is on such festivals, when there is no danger of lessons being forgotten, that I best love to see around me a group of happy children, all the happier for having Aunt Kitty to direct their plays - to show them the pleasantest walks, or, when they are tired both of playing and walking, to sit with them by the fire. Side and tell them some entertaining story. I am never however entirely without such young companions. I have always with me an orphan niece - Harriet Armand - who is about ten years old. Her father and mother died when she was quite an infant, and she has ever since been to me as my own child. Then I have another niece - Mary Mackay - just six years old, the merriest little girl on whom the sun ever shone, who, as her father lives quite near me, spends part - her mother says the largest part of every day with me. Besides these, there are Susan May and Lucy Ellis, who, living in a neat, pretty village near us, seldom let a fine day pass without seeing Harriet and me.
