Evenings at Home; Or, The Juvenile Budget Opened by John Aikin and Mrs. Barbauld
"Evenings at Home; Or, The Juvenile Budget Opened" by John Aikin and Mrs. Barbauld is a collection of children's stories published between 1792 and 1796. This six-volume work presents fables, stories, and dialogues crafted for young readers, framed through the imaginative conceit of the Fairborne family's "budget"—a treasured box of writings drawn from and read aloud during holiday gatherings. An influential early example of children's literature, it became so celebrated that families
across England eagerly shared its tales, inspiring translations and adaptations for generations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
