Her writings display a sympathetic insight into children's lives, an admiration for things military, and a strong religious faith. Roger Lancelyn Green calls Ewing's works the "first outstanding child-novels" in English literature. Her story The Brownies (1865) gave the Baden-Powells the idea and the name for the junior level of the Girl Guides. RightWayUp Books aims to provide accurate and detailed descriptions.
