M. V. Hughes

Molly was brought up in Islington as the youngest of a large, characterful family. There was not a great deal of money and their life was indeed 'ordinary' but Molly Hughes gives a profound and touching account of the everyday existence of herself, her four elder brothers and her parents.

The young womanhood of the author, a teacher and writer, is recalled including her marriage, career, and travels in turn of-the-century Europe and the United States.
