| Summary | "A Cup of Sweets, That Can Never Cloak: or, Delightful Tales for Good Children" by the author of Godmother's Tales is a collection of children's stories likely written in the early 19th century. The book is designed to entertain and educate children with moral lessons, featuring various relatable characters like Arabella, a curious girl, and Henry, a boy with a penchant for mischief. Each story seems to illustrate virtues and vices, making it a suitable read for young audiences. The opening of this collection introduces the character of Arabella, who is depicted as overly curious and prone to prying into the lives of others, despite warnings to mind her own business. Her curiosity leads her to create chaos as she tries to uncover a secret involving her family. In her pursuit of discovery, she inadvertently causes the escape of a beautiful pigeon—a present meant for her birthday—resulting in her deep regret. This introduction sets the stage for a series of moral tales where children learn important lessons about behavior and the consequences of their actions.
