Fairly easy to read. E-text prepared by Chris Curnow, Lindy Walsh, Emmy, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "A Christmas Posy" by Mrs. Molesworth is a collection of children's stories written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows various characters, particularly siblings Sylvia and Molly, as they navigate childhood challenges, family dynamics, and the pursuit of joy and comfort in their lives, especially during the Christmas season. Through a blend of warmth and adventure, the stories evoke a sense of nostalgia and the importance of familial relationships. At the start of "A Christmas Posy," readers are introduced to Sylvia and Molly, two sisters living with their Aunt in Paris during the holiday season. As they prepare for the New Year, their thoughts linger on their recently deceased grandmother, bringing a poignant sense of longing and melancholy to the festive atmosphere. The narrative swiftly shifts focus when Auntie leaves the house and accidentally misplaces their grandmother's old watch, which sends the family into a frantic search. This opening sets the stage for a exploration of love, loss, and the challenges of family life, hinting at the deeper themes of healing and hope that will unfold throughout the collection.
