17470 Children's Titles but the illustrations are gorgeousBarbauld [1743 1825] was a political writer, poet, teacher, essayist, edictor and critic. Running a school with her husband in a Suffolk village, she revolutionized the nation's ideas about childhood with books she wrote that sold thousands. Living in the time of the American and French Revolutions, Napoleonic Wars, and struggles for religious equality, she strove to defend Enlightenment principles with her essays, and political writings.
