Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Holidays at the Grange; or, A Week's Delight,' Emily Mayer Higgins crafts a charming tableau of entertainment from an era steeped in the customs of parlor games and storytelling. With meticulous attention to period detail, Higgins revives the essence of 19th-century domestic recreation, encapsulating the wit and conviviality that characterized leisure time among family and friends. Her prose encapsulates both the instructional and the anecdotal, rendering a literary piece that is both a guide to genteel amusement and a reflective mirror on the sociocultural dynamics of her time. A salient context is the juxtaposition of this collection with the broader trend of moralistic and educational literature of the Victorian era, making it a significant artifact within its milieu. Emily Mayer Higgins stands as a keen observer of social etiquette and familial bonds, penning this work with an evident desire to preserve the values of her contemporary society. The creation of 'Holidays at the Grange' may well be seen as an extension of Higgins' own appreciation for the union of literature and the sociable arts, a reflection of a personal passion for the community-building aspects of shared narrative and play. These qualities underscore not only her extensive knowledge but also her flair for relaying that knowledge in an engaging manner that transcends her own time. An indispensable addition to the libraries of enthusiasts of historical literature and lovers of classic games and tales, 'Holidays at the Grange' offers readers a delightful journey into the past. It beckons to those with a penchant for cultural history and a curiosity for the nuances of bygone social entertainments. As comprehensive as it is charming, this book will captivate anyone who cherishes the timeless joy found in the simple pleasures of stories and games shared by the fireside.
