Mathews is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on a young girl named Mamie Stone, who grapples with issues of desire, generosity, and obedience, primarily through her interactions with a much-coveted doll and her fellow classmates. The book explores themes of childhood innocence, the struggle between selfishness and kindness, and the moral lessons that arise from mamie's experiences. At the start of the narrative, Mamie is attending a fair with her mother, where she desperately wants to acquire a beautiful doll. Her initial interactions with her mother reveal her spoiled nature and intense desire for the doll, which serves as a symbol of her yearning for validation and love. As the plot unfolds, we see Mamie's struggles with her emotions, particularly when faced with disappointment after not winning the doll at the fair. Her reflections on her behavior, especially in comparison to her kind-hearted classmates, hint at a deeper desire to grow and change, showcasing a universal childhood experience of grappling with moral choices amid social pressures.
