''The Governess: Or The Little Female Academy'' is a novel written by Mary Martha Sherwood and published in 1827. The story revolves around a young orphan girl named Emily, who is sent to a boarding school run by a strict governess named Mrs. Teachum. Emily is initially homesick and struggles to adjust to the new environment, but she eventually makes friends with the other girls and learns important life lessons about morality, manners, and education. The novel is written in the form of a series of letters from Mrs. Teachum to Emily’s guardian, detailing the progress of the girls and the challenges they face. Through the characters and their experiences, Sherwood promotes the values of Christian morality, obedience, and self-improvement. ''The Governess'' was a popular educational novel for young girls in the 19th century and is still considered a classic of children’s literature today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
