Rural Felicity, Or, The History Of Tommy And Sally

In a quiet corner of 18th century England, two country children, Tommy and Sally, discover that contentment lies in obedience, gratitude and simple work well done. These are gentle village lessons. Rooted in rural village life and Christian family values, Rural Felicity is classic children's fiction shaped by the clear, earnest voice of early 18th century juvenile literature, offering a moral story for children that still speaks softly to modern ears. Blending piety with practicality in the manner of Sarah Trimmer style tales, R. Johnson presents scenes of the Georgian era countryside that encourage humility, charity and trust in God without harshness or sentimentality. The straightforward prose and gentle narrative rhythm lend themselves to bedtime read aloud stories, character training in a homeschool literature curriculum, or quiet family devotions, making it a natural fit for any children's classics collection focused on lasting lessons in virtue. First published in the age when English writing for the young was being reinvented, Rural Felicity stands as a revealing witness to how families of faith once taught their sons and daughters to live well in a demanding world. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
