A Little World of Children is a children's novel written by Élise de Pressensé, whom a biographer describes as "a great lady of Protestantism." A Swiss writer and pastor's wife, she was deeply involved in social action. In A Little World of Children , published in 1873, she offers a cheerful portrayal of a children's society gathered around the character of Madeleine, a poor but always joyful child, "the flower of the garrets," and her courageous mother, subtly praising the pleasure of living even in hardship, the virtues one possesses without thinking, compassion, and generosity.
