Publisher's Synopsis

The Happy Family: Or Selfishness And Self-Denial is a book written by an anonymous author in 1851. The book tells the story of a family that is not happy because each member is selfish and only thinks about their own needs and desires. The father is selfish with his money, the mother is selfish with her time, and the children are selfish with their toys and attention. The story follows the family as they learn the importance of self-denial and putting others before themselves. They learn that true happiness comes from giving and serving others. The father learns to be more generous with his money, the mother learns to be more patient with her children, and the children learn to share and be kind to each other. The Happy Family: Or Selfishness And Self-Denial is a moralistic tale that teaches the importance of selflessness and the negative consequences of selfishness. It is a timeless lesson that is still relevant today. The book is suitable for children and adults alike, and it is a great read for anyone who wants to learn about the value of putting others first.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
