A very good 19th century children's book in the original publisher's binding. 4.75" x 3.75" x 0.5". [6pp.]/pp.224/[6pp. - Adverts] . Red blind stamped decorated boards. Bright gilt image to front board and gilt titles (a liitle dulled) to spine. Edges lightly rubbed. All page edges gilt. Original brown endpapers. Wood-cut frontis and decorated title-page, followed by a printed title-page. Clean text throughout, illustrated with woodcuts within the text. VG. ** "Charlotte Elizabeth Tonna (1 October 1790 12 July 1846) was a popular Victorian English writer and novelist who wrote under the pseudonym Charlotte Elizabeth. Born on 1 October 1790, Charlotte was the daughter of Reverend Michael Browne, rector of St. Giles's Church and minor canon of Norwich Cathedral. In 1813 she married Captain George Phelan of the 60th regiment, and spent two years with him while he served with his regiment in Nova Scotia (1817 1819).[8] They then returned to Ireland, where Phelan owned a small estate near Kilkenny. The marriage was not a happy one, and it was reported that Captain Phelan was addicted to "gross intemperance" and personally abused Charlotte during their marriage. She was very patient towards him and refused to seek help from her friends, but as the abuse continued she was forced to separate from him in 1824. Charlotte was aware that her marital troubles could be interpreted many ways so, to keep her privacy, "Tonna made her friends and acquaintances promise that in the event of her death they would destroy all her letters and other correspondence". Her pen name "Charlotte Elizabeth" was a tactic she used to protect her writing earnings from Captain Phelan when they were married. In 1837 Captain Phelan died in Dublin. In 1841, Charlotte married Lewis Hippolytus Joseph Tonna. Her second marriage to Tonna was a much happier one, he being an "excellent husband" who was very active in London society. Also a Protestant writer, he wrote a memoir entitled The Life of Charlotte Elizabeth in 1869 to celebrate his late wife's life. Due to her popularity, her works were translated into many diverse languages such as "French, Italian, Marathi, and the Mpongwe language of Gabon in West Africa." In 1845, the Christian Examiner praised her work and declared that Tonna had "secured an unhesitating reception amongst most of those called Evangelical Christians." Her legacy endures as a highly respected writer in the Evangelical Protestant community." - See Wikipedia.
