Publisher's Synopsis
The Bracelets, also known as Amiability and Industry Rewarded, is a children's book written by Maria Edgeworth. The story revolves around two young girls, Lucy and Rosamond, who are given a pair of bracelets by their uncle. The bracelets are made of gold and silver, and are adorned with precious stones. Lucy and Rosamond are very different from each other. Lucy is kind, hardworking, and always willing to help others. Rosamond, on the other hand, is lazy, selfish, and always looking for ways to avoid work. One day, the girls' uncle promises to reward them with a gift if they can prove that they are worthy of it. Lucy takes this challenge seriously and works hard to help her family and friends. Rosamond, however, does not change her ways and continues to be lazy and selfish. In the end, Lucy is rewarded with the gift of a beautiful horse, while Rosamond is left with nothing. The story teaches children the importance of hard work, kindness, and generosity, and how these virtues can lead to success and happiness. Overall, The Bracelets is a charming and moralistic tale that is suitable for children of all ages. It is a classic example of Maria Edgeworth's style of writing, which emphasizes the importance of education and moral development in young people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
