N2  - "The Carved Lions" by Mrs. Molesworth is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story is narrated by a young girl named Geraldine, who reflects on her childhood and the shift in her family’s circumstances. The book explores themes of nostalgia, childhood innocence, and the impending changes that arise as Geraldine is faced with new challenges and experiences.  At the start of the narrative, Geraldine reminisces about her simpler days growing up with her brother Haddie in a less-than-ideal environment, yet filled with loving parents and whimsical adventures. The pivotal moment comes when Geraldine learns they will face a significant change, as her father has been offered a job abroad that might separate the family. The opening chapters introduce the characters and establish their relationships, particularly the bond between Geraldine and Haddie, as well as their love for the carved lions at a local furniture shop, which symbolizes their childhood innocence and imagination. This sense of wonder is juxtaposed against the harsh reality of their situation, setting the stage for the trials and growth that Geraldine will experience in the story.
