À propos de l'auteur
Mary Louisa Molesworth, nee Stewart (29 May 1839 – 20 January 1921), was an English writer of children's stories who embodied the spirit of the Victorian era through her numerous works. Renowned for her charm, wit, and ability to depict realistic, sympathetic child characters, Molesworth was known to her readers as Mrs. Molesworth, the name under which most of her fiction was published. A prolific author, she wrote family and children's books that were much admired throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. 'Christmas-Tree Land' is among her memorable tomes, a classic tale that encapsulates her genteel prose and enchanting narrative style. Her literary output regularly featured themes of domestic life, moral conduct, and the fantastical elements that often resonate within children's literature.
