Sinopsis

Self-help books aim to help the reader with problems, offering them clear and effective guidance on how obstacles can be passed and solutions found—especially with regard to common issues and day-to-day life. Such books take their name from the 1859 best-selling “Self-Help” by Samuel Smiles, and are also often referred to as "self-improvement" books. First published in 1866, “Little Foxes” is a vintage self-help book that concentrates on maintaining a happy home life by avoiding bad habits and destructive mannerisms. Contents include: “Fault-finding”, “Irritability”, “Repression”, “Self-will”, “Intolerance”, “Discourteousness”, and “Exactingness”. This timeless volume contains a wealth of useful information that, if followed, will ensure a happy home life for all involved. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.

Biografía del autor

Harriet Beecher Stowe was an American author and abolitionist. Born in Litchfield, Connecticut, she was raised in a deeply religious family and educated in a seminary school run by her elder sister. In her adult life, Stowe married biblical scholar and abolitionist Calvin Ellis Stowe, who would later go on to work as Harriet s literary agent, and the two participated in the Underground Railroad by providing temporary refuge for escaped slaves travelling to the American North. Shortly before the outbreak of the American Civil War, Stowe published her most famous work, Uncle Tom s Cabin, a stark and sympathetic depiction of the desperate lives of African American slaves. The book went on to see unprecedented sales, and informed American and European attitudes towards abolition. In the years leading up to her death, suffering from dementia or Alzheimer s disease, Stowe is said to have begun re-writing Uncle Tom s Cabin, almost word-for-word, believing that she was writing the original manuscript once again. Stowe died in July 1, 1896 at the age of eighty-five.
