Mary's Meadow, and Other Tales of Fields and Flowers

Published in 1886, 'Mary's Meadow, and Other Tales of Fields and Flowers' by Juliana Horatia Ewing is a collection of children's stories that explore themes of nature, gardening, and childhood adventures. The narratives center around young Mary and her family as they navigate relationships with their neighbors, particularly in the context of a dispute over a right-of-way through 'Mary's Meadow.' Ewing's tales are notable for their sympathetic insight into child life and the lessons of selflessness and community, reflecting her fondness for floral and pastoral life.
