A Flat Iron for a Farthing
Illustrated by Wheelhouse, Mary V.
“A Flat Iron for a Farthing” is the story of Reginald Dacre, the only child of a widowed father, and the poignant and often humorous incidents of his childhood. At the heart of his story is Mrs. Bundle, the devoted old nurse who cares for him after the loss of his mother and baby sister. One of Juliana Horatia Ewing’s most popular books, it is a warm and lively story of childhood, family life, friendship, and growing up.
