Malay Archipelago, Volume 2

Dive into the enchanting world of Moo Cow Tales, a delightful collection of four childrens short stories penned in the 1890s by the talented young author Rosamund Edith Nesbit Bland. Known for her imaginative storytelling, Rosamund collaborated with her adoptive mother, Edith Nesbit, on another beloved book, Cat Tales, in 1904. Additionally, she authored the captivating 1934 novel, The Man in the Stone House, exploring the complex relationship between a young woman and her parents. Each whimsical tale in Moo Cow Tales employs the charming literary device of personification, bringing characters to life in a way that captivates young readers. The stories are beautifully complemented by the exquisite illustrations of Evelyn Stuart Hardy (1866-1935), whose artistry graced countless childrens publications, including those featuring delightful pop-ups and movable pictures. Join us for this imaginative journey, as narrated by Brian Fullen.
