1871 Henry Willson's Voyage; or, Only in Fun by Lucy Ellen Guernsey, Scarce

Antique Book, American Sunday-School Union

A rare 19th-century Christian moral tale, this 1871 children’s novel follows the mischievous but well-meaning Henry Willson as his antics lead to both trouble and transformation. Set in a domestic world of stitching sisters, chicken-yard mishaps, and tar-laden lessons, it’s a fascinating look at early American youth literature and moral instruction. Illustrated with a frontispiece and filled with lively, instructive scenes.
