| Summary |
"Lady Mary and Her Nurse; Or, A Peep into the Canadian Forest" by Mrs. Traill is a children's story written during the mid-19th century that encapsulates the flora and fauna of the Canadian wilderness through the eyes of its main character, Lady Mary. The narrative primarily revolves around Lady Mary and her interactions with her nurse as they explore the wonders of nature, focusing on animals such as the flying squirrel and other woodland creatures. The opening of the story introduces Lady Mary, the daughter of the Governor of Canada, who is enchanted by a flying squirrel her nurse has brought into the room. As they converse about this small creature and its lifestyle, the nurse educates Lady Mary on various aspects of life in the Canadian forest, including the food habits of beavers and the sights and sounds of the wilderness. The conversation flows into anecdotes about life in the woods, Indian villages, and the activities of various animals. This section sets a warm and educational tone, establishing a rich backdrop of natural beauty and wildlife in Canada, while also introducing themes of curiosity, innocence, and the bond between Lady Mary and her nurse.
