Demain Hammond, G. M. D. Jasper Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "Jasper" by Mrs. Molesworth is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the Fortescue family, particularly focusing on the experiences and development of the siblings, Chrissie, Leila, and their younger brother Jasper, in the wake of family upheaval caused by their recent financial troubles after the death of their uncle. The children's journey explores themes of growth, selflessness, and responsibility as they transition from a life of comfort to one that requires them to adapt to new circumstances. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Chrissie and Leila Fortescue in their nursery, where their contrasting personalities play out through their interactions, particularly concerning their responsibilities and encounters with their nurse. Chrissie is stubborn and rebellious, while Leila is more subdued and introspective. The opening also introduces Jasper, the youngest sibling, who displays a kind and considerate nature, often attempting to care for his sisters despite their flaws. This dynamic sets the stage for their family's struggles as they learn to cope with the challenges of changing social status and the importance of unselfishness, hinted at through their mother’s worries about their spoiled behavior and their eventual return to a simpler lifestyle.
