Things In-Doors
Published by George Routledge And Sons: London c1890 (undated - prize plate dated 1890)

" Things In-Doors, published by George Routledge in the 19th century, is a charming children's book that explores the everyday objects and domestic life inside a typical Victorian home. Written in a friendly and instructive tone, the book introduces young readers to various household items—such as furniture, utensils, tools, and decorations—explaining their uses, histories, and importance in daily life. Each object is presented almost like a character, often with a short anecdote or description meant to both educate and entertain.

The book reflects the Victorian emphasis on order, cleanliness, and domestic propriety, aiming to instill good habits and curiosity about the world close at hand. Rather than focusing on grand adventures or faraway lands, Things In-Doors encourages children to appreciate the familiar surroundings of home. It serves as both a moral guide and a practical introduction to the domestic world, blending gentle instruction with storytelling to engage young minds and promote thoughtful observation."
