Sarah Fielding's The Governess well deserves a place in the annals of children's literature. It is the oearliest known full-length novel written for children, and as such, the first moral tale, the first school story, and the first educational novel. First published in 1749 and still to be found in print in 1903, it can also justly claim to be one of the longest-lived stories for children. The facsimile reproduction included in this volume is of the first edition in the possession of Mrs. Jill E. Grey who has written an Introduction and prepared the bibliographical account of The Governess as a children's book. .
