Summary: "A Song-Bird" by Eleanora H. Stooke is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on Mavis, a ten-year-old girl who navigates the challenges of separation from her mother, Mrs. Grey, as her mother prepares to embark on a lengthy nursing job in Australia. The narrative explores themes of love, resilience, and the importance of family, particularly through the bond between Mavis and her mother. The opening portion introduces us to Mavis and her mother in their modest London lodging-home as they face financial difficulties after Mrs. Grey's husband's death. Mavis is anxious about her mother's upcoming departure, feeling frightened and uncertain about the separation. As Mrs. Grey explains the situation, Mavis grapples with her emotions, displaying concern for her mother’s new patient, Miss Dawson, who is very ill. The poignant exchanges between mother and daughter highlight their deep love and bond, even as they face the prospect of being apart for an extended period. This sets the stage for Mavis's journey of growth and adaptation as she moves to live with her relatives in the countryside. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
