Tales and Novels — Volume 07 By: Maria Edgeworth (1767-1849)
Tales and Novels — Volume 07 by Maria Edgeworth presents a collection of captivating stories that explore themes of morality, human nature, and societal norms. Each tale is intricately woven with engaging characters and thought-provoking plots that kept me hooked from beginning to end.
