About the book

In «Once Upon a Time, and Other Child-Verses,» Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman crafts a whimsical collection of verses that captures the enchantment and innocence of childhood. These poems, resonant with vivid imagery and gentle rhythm, reflect Freeman's mastery of the lyric form while immersing readers in the fantastical world of children's imagination. Drawing upon folkloric themes and the pastoral simplicity of rural New England, Freeman employs a style that is both accessible and lyrical, skillfully balancing playful language with profound emotional undertones, thereby encouraging readers to explore the complex emotional landscape experienced through the eyes of a child. Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman, a prominent figure in late 19th-century American literature, often drew inspiration from her own experiences growing up in a small town. The daughter of a clergyman, her intimate understanding of the nuances of domestic life and the struggles of women in rural America heavily influenced her work. Through her poetry, Freeman seeks to validate the emotional experiences of children and highlight their often-overlooked perspectives, cementing her role as a pioneer in children's literature. This collection is highly recommended for readers who cherish the nostalgia of childhood and seek to reconnect with the simplicity and wonder of youth. Freeman'Äôs thoughtful verses serve not only as a charming read for children but also as a reflection for adults on the joys and sorrows of growing up. This timeless work is sure to resonate with anyone who appreciates the profound beauty found in the world of a child's imagination.
