520 _a"The Little Old Portrait" by Mrs. Molesworth is a historical fiction novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of the French Revolution, exploring themes of societal upheaval and personal virtue. The story centers around Edmee, the daughter of a noble family, who experiences the challenges of her upbringing amidst the chaotic political landscape, alongside her childhood friend Pierre, whose family background is rooted in the peasantry. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces the somber context of pre-Revolutionary France and the stark divisions between social classes, painting a picture of the impending turmoil. The children of the farmhouse, particularly Edmee and her siblings, are preparing for their mother's birthday celebration while showing interest in a mysterious portrait of a little girl, which hints at deeper connections to their family history. As the children gather flowers and plan for the festivities, they express a longing to hear the story behind the portrait, setting the stage for themes of memory and legacy that will likely intertwine with the larger historical events unfolding in their world.
