Breve biografia
Juliana Horatia Ewing, née Gatty, was born in Ecclesfield, Yorshire, England, one of 10 children of children's author Margaret Gatty and her husband, the Rev. Alfred Gatty. She began writing at an early age, and submitted her early stories to Charlotte Yonge's magazine Monthly Packet. In 1867, she married to Major Alexander Ewing, an army officer, and accompanied him on his posting to Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. The couple returned to England in 1869 and spent eight years in the army town of Aldershot. She began to write stories and books for children, which included The Brownies (1865), Jan of the Windmill (1872), Mrs. Overtheway's Remembrances (1869), A Flat Iron for a Farthing (1872), Six to Sixteen (1875), Jackanapes (1884), Daddy Darwin's Dovecot (1884), and The Story of a Short Life (1885. She also was an editor of a number of magazines that published short stories for children. When her husband was sent to Malta in 1879 and then Sri Lanka in 1881, Juliana's poor health kept her behind in England. On his return, they moved to Trull, Somerset, and then to Bath in hopes of restoring her health, but she died in 1885, at age 43. Her sister Horatia Gatty published a memorial of Juliana's life and works called Juliana Horatia Ewing and Her Books (1885).

Absolutely delightful storytelling, full of joy, sadness, morality and mischief. I wonder why I have not been introduced to Juliana Ewing before.

This collection of mid-19th-century children's fantasy fiction exceeded my expectations. While Mrs. Ewing usually included a moral in her children's stories, she also displayed a lively imagination and an excellent sense of humor. It's evident she expected adults to read her stories. These tales could in many instances be classed as fairy tales or at least fantasy.

I found this by chance, very reasonably priced, in a local Oxfam shop. It's a very pretty 1920s edition, belonging to a little girl in 1927 according to the flyleaf. Its humour and realism successfully balance both the morality necessary to any Victorian children's story, and the class obsessions of the day (don't let your children associate too much with the servants, lest they pick up "low" language...)
A farthing was worth one quarter of an old pre-decimal penny, and was pocket-money change even in Regie's day. The flat-iron and other tiny items the children buy at the ironmonger's are doll's house goods; irresistible.… (altro)
