I've been revisiting Molly Hughes's quietly fascinating trilogy of memoirs, which begins with the delightful A London Child of the 1870s, published in 1934. "We were just an ordinary, suburban, Victorian family," she writes disarmingly, "undistinguished ourselves and unacquainted with distinguished people."
I thought others might enjoy this passage about how Molly and her brothers prepared for Christmas. #histodons #victorian #victodon
@patrickleary such a lovely series…
