Mathews is a children's fiction book written in the late 19th century. This charming story centers around the character of Nellie Ransom, a thoughtful and diligent young girl who is grappling with her responsibilities at home while also trying to achieve academic success during her summer break. The narrative explores themes of kindness, the importance of family, and the balance between work and play. The opening of the book introduces us to Nellie, who is initially absorbed in her writing and studies, focused on finding Bible texts. However, Nellie's interactions with her younger sister, Carrie, reveal her growing irritability, which she attributes to feeling overwhelmed by her self-imposed academic burdens. As she struggles with feelings of being cross and unkind, Nellie grapples with her desire to improve herself while recognizing the impact of her choices on her family's dynamics. Through her mother's gentle guidance, Nellie begins to understand the importance of balancing her studies with being a caring and attentive sister.
