Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards Collection (XV)

Description

Two Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards books combined in one: • Julia Ward Howe, 1819-1910 • Florence Nightingale, the Angel of the Crimea: A Story for Young PeopleTogether, these books broaden the picture of the author’s storytelling, pairing two different kinds of momentum. “Julia Ward Howe, 1819-1910” draws you in with its particular premise and cast, while “Florence Nightingale, the Angel of the Crimea” shifts the angle—either by changing tone, setting, or the kind of conflict at the center. Across both, the focus stays on character under pressure, moral choices, and the texture of everyday life.Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards is widely read for clear storytelling, memorable characters, and enduring themes. The writing tends to focus on motive and consequence, with attention to social life as well as private feeling. Across different works, there is a steady interest in how people change—slowly, reluctantly, or all at once—when circumstances force a decision.
