Brotherly Love

Focusing on her prolific writing career, Mary Martha Sherwood authored over 400 works, notably children's stories infused with evangelical themes. Her early writings reflect her faith, while later pieces explore Victorian ideals of domesticity. After marrying Captain Henry Sherwood and relocating to India, she began crafting stories for children, particularly those in military encampments. Upon returning to Britain, she established a boarding school and continued to publish educational texts aimed at children and the less fortunate.
