This is Molly Hughes' autobiographical account of her life in Victorian London. A London Child of the 1870s, A London Girl of the 1880s, and A London Home of the 1890s are available here in a single paperback volume. The perceptive trilogy traces her early life through schooldays, studies, and travels abroad, to the closing years of the last century, when she was married and bringing up a family of her own, showing that Victorian children did not have such a dull time as is usually supposed.
