Fireside Tales (1885)

By Edwin Waugh

Book Overview

Fireside Tales is a collection of short stories written by Edwin Waugh and published in 1885. The book includes a total of 23 stories that are set in the rural areas of Lancashire, England, during the 19th century. The tales are written in a dialect that reflects the local language and customs of the region. The stories are centered around the lives of ordinary people and their experiences of love, loss, and hardship. These tales are designed to be read aloud to families gathered around the fireside, hence the title, and they offer a glimpse into the daily lives of working-class people in rural England during the Victorian era. The book is a valuable cultural artifact that offers readers a unique perspective on the social and economic conditions of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
