Simple Susan

Set in a quaint, retired hamlet nestled between Oswestry and Shrewsbury in Wales, Simple Susan is a charming childrens story from Maria Edgeworths The Parents Assistant. This delightful tale explores the contrasting lives of the litigious attorney, Mr. Case, and his suspicious children, against the backdrop of their simple and peaceful neighbors, the Price family. With timeless lessons that resonate across social divides, this story imparts valuable insights for children of all backgrounds—rich and poor, powerful and weak, and everyone in between.
