Sinopse
Características

Ann Preston (1813-1872) is best known as a medical pioneer and nineteenth century Quaker activist. The immediate cause of the publication of Cousin Anns Stories for Children (1849) was most likely the then recent 27 hour escape at the end of March, 1849, of Henry Box Brown, a Richmond slave who left his family and escaped north in a small wooden crate. Though Cousin Anns Stories for Children is one hundred and sixty-two years old, it still speaks to contemporary concerns and moral perspectives. In its address To My Little Readers she explains, I thought I would write a little book, and that would be a good way to speak with you, though I am far away. What Cousin Ann speaks of is practicing temperance, healthy diet and avoidance of tobacco, to treasure freedom and abhor slavery, the bounty and beauty of Gods creation, the need to treat others generously and honestly.
