The Youth's Coronal by Hannah Flagg Gould
"The Youth's Coronal" by Hannah Flagg Gould is a collection of children's poems written in the mid-19th century. The book aims to entertain and instruct young readers, intertwining themes of nature, moral lessons, and the journey from childhood through various life experiences, all while employing evocative imagery and whimsical storytelling. The opening of this delightful collection features a heartfelt address to the youth, wherein the author expresses her hope that the pages
will serve as a source of enjoyment and moral grounding. It is described as a "coronal" of poetry, intended to be a source of wisdom and beauty. The subsequent poems included in the table of contents flourish with imaginative titles, indicating a rich tapestry of stories that range from the sales of flowers to humbling life lessons involving animals and nature. The beginning emphasizes the importance of parental guidance and the nurturing of virtues, setting a precedent for the moral narratives to follow throughout the text.
