Résumé

"The Big Nightcap Letters" is a charming collection of stories written by Aunt Fanny, aimed at imparting moral lessons to children through engaging narratives. The book is structured as a series of letters, each containing a story dedicated to a specific child, with the intention of teaching virtues such as kindness, generosity, and obedience. The first story, "The Little White Angel," tells of a group of schoolchildren tasked with finding the brightest, loveliest, and best things on earth to win a porcelain angel. Through the character of Carl, who wins the angel by presenting a tear of compassion and a pure white lily, the story emphasizes the value of empathy and the beauty of nature. The second story, "Heedless Harry," follows a mischievous boy who learns the consequences of his reckless behavior after a series of misadventures, including an unintended journey to Senegal. Through Harry's experiences, the story highlights the importance of thoughtfulness and the impact of one's actions. The third story, "Poor Rich Little Eva," is a poignant tale of a wealthy couple who discover that their beloved daughter, Eva, is blind. The narrative explores themes of acceptance and the unconditional love of family, as the parents come to terms with their child's condition and find joy in her presence. Each story in the collection is crafted to resonate with young readers, combining elements of fantasy and reality to convey meaningful life lessons in an accessible and entertaining manner.
