Milly-Molly-Mandy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Milly-Molly-Mandy refers to a series of books by Joyce Lankester Brisley, as well as to the main character of those books.

Milly-Molly-Mandy's real name is Millicent Margaret Amanda, but she received the nickname because her full name was considered too long. Her adventures are the everyday events of village life, running errands, going to school, making presents, fishing, picnicking, and so on. She lives in "the nice white cottage with the thatched roof" on the edge of a small village. Her parents, grandparents, aunt and uncle also live in the cottage. Her friends are Billy Blunt and Little-Friend-Susan.

These simple tales, originally published in the Christian Science Monitor, have a wide appeal but are particularly intended for children between five and eight.

  • Milly-Molly-Mandy Stories (1928)
  • More of Milly-Molly-Mandy (1929)
  • Further Doings of Milly-Molly-Mandy (1932)
