Description

A quiet knock, a carved cupboard, and a story that lingers long after the fire dies down. The Carved Cupboard invites you into late Victorian Britain, where a quiet English countryside becomes a stage for moral weighing, memory, and the echoes of family secrets. This restored edition offers a concise, beguiling Victorian novella that sits within a beloved moral tales collection. Its domestic gothic fiction hues illuminate how childhood memory and loss shape character, while superstition and fate fuse with everyday life to test virtue and tenderness. The narrative rewards careful readers with quiet observations, humane psychology, and a ribbon of suspense that feels both timeless and intimate. Amy Le Feuvre's work sits firmly in the tradition cherished by classic literature readers, Victorian literature students, and fans of George MacDonald and Charles Dickens. It speaks with candour about the promises and perils of growing up, and the moral texture of a world where every choice shadows the future. The prose honours the era while remaining accessible to modern readers seeking a humane, lyrical escape. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This edition invites both casual readers and devoted collectors to treasure a piece of English literary heritage, quietly resonant and richly enduring.
