Reprint of the original, first published in 1872.
The Governess, or The Little Female Academy is a book about a boarding school run by Mrs Teachum.[3] The story takes place over ten days, not including some initial background information, and an epilogue. On each day, except for the first, all or part of a text is read aloud to the students by Miss Jenny Peace. Afterward, one or more of the pupils is physically described, followed by the recording their life story. These are written so as to appear to have been spoken by each respective girl, and recorded by Miss Jenny. Each session of reading is capped by an appearance from Mrs Teachum, who explains the lesson that should be taken from each experience. Much emphasis is given to the importance of reading and to reflecting on the reading.
First novel in the Past Venus Historical series - stories set in a bygone age written by contemporary authors. At first Kate Spencer's new job seems perfect for a young spinster with ambitions of matrimony: governess to a young girl in the large country house of rich aristocrats. Appearances are deceptive, however: she is caught in a fast tightening net of sexual exploitation and physical humiliation at the hands of her ruthless employers. Kate realises that she must outwit the decadent Sir Bradley Fordham and his wife if she is not to be sold as a sex slave.
