Ingle-Nook Stories
By Mrs Stanley Leathes
With Illustrations by M. Erwin
Published by John F. Shaw And Co: Paternoster Row (London) c1900 (undated - inscription dated 1901)

" Ingle-Nook Stories by Mrs. Stanley Leathes is a charming collection of moral and religious tales intended for young readers, first published in the late 19th century. Set around the warm domestic setting of an "ingle-nook" or fireside, the stories blend everyday family life with Christian teachings and lessons in character. Each tale is designed to encourage virtues such as honesty, patience, kindness, and faith, often illustrated through relatable incidents involving children and their families.

The book's tone is gentle yet instructive, reflecting Victorian values and an emphasis on nurturing a child's moral development through storytelling. Mrs. Leathes uses the quiet moments of home life to convey larger spiritual truths, drawing readers into simple but meaningful narratives. Though written in a bygone era, Ingle-Nook Stories remains a tender example of didactic literature, showcasing how storytelling was once central to shaping values within the family home."
