ANON.[Favell L. Bevan, afterwards Mortimer] Apostles Preaching to Jews and Gentiles or The Acts Explained to Children. By the author of "Peep of the Day".
London: Longmans, Green and Co.,1898. 0
Instructional religious book for children. 14cms x 10cms. Pp.xvi/340/4(ads), black & white frontispiece + 26 black & white outline illustrations, folding colour map of the Journeys of St Paul, owner's name to half-title page, cracking to inside hinge between first page and folding map, map has small closed tears. Brown decorated cloth, title outlined in gilt to front and spine. G+.** "Favell Lee Bevan developed her own method of teaching children to read based on an early kind of 'flash cards' rather than the traditional hornbook. Her teaching notes were collected and appeared as such works as Peep of Day and Reading Without Tears. According to Todd Pruzan, "For the better part of the 19th century, Mrs. Mortimer was something of a literary superstar to an impressionable audience, both in her native England and beyond."[1] The Peep of Day series was immensely popular: over 500,000 copies of the original edition were issued; it went through numerous English editions; and it was published by the Religious Tract Society in thirty-seven different dialects and languages. Writing in The New Yorker on March 4, 1950, Mortimer's grandniece Rosalind Constable called the book, "one of the most outspokenly sadistic children's books ever written referring to her great aunt's belief in the need to impress upon children the pains of hell that would result from wrong-doing and the rejection of salvation.Her way of simplifying religious ideas for very small children was criticised by some contemporaries, and to readers now her piety is unpalatable or amusing and her descriptions of other cultures are marred by unpleasant stereotypes; however, to the student of nineteenth-century children's literature, her texts are instructive."
