The Governess; Or, The Little Female Academy by Sarah Fielding
"The Governess; Or, The Little Female Academy" by Sarah Fielding is a novel published in 1749. Recognized as the first full-length novel written for children, it follows nine pupils at Mrs Teachum's boarding school over ten days of learning and storytelling. When a gift of apples sparks conflict among the students, it sets in motion lessons about virtue, reflection, and the dangers of pride and envy. Through fairy tales and life stories,
the girls discover that education should bring joy, not drudgery, and that love and affection create the happiest societies. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
