Five Minute Stories

by Laura E. Howe Richards

This collection of short stories and poems by Laura E. Howe Richards offers a glimpse into the world of childhood a century ago. The tales are characterized by their innocent and wholesome nature, often featuring themes of family, friendship, and moral lessons. They evoke a sense of a slower pace of life, where children found joy in simple pleasures and the close bonds of family. While some stories are humorous or poignant, many are designed to entertain and educate young readers, reflecting the values and sensibilities of the Victorian era.
