Mathews is a children's fiction book written in the late 19th century. This engaging story centers around a young girl named Bessie and her family as they travel to Quam Beach, where Bessie experiences the joy of the sea, makes new friends, and learns valuable lessons. The narrative is imbued with themes of childhood innocence, family bonds, and the wonders of nature. The opening portion of the novel introduces Bessie, her sister Maggie, and their family as they embark on a long journey to their seaside destination. Upon arrival, Bessie—who has been unwell—finds joy in the sound of the waves, the beauty of the beach, and the adventures to come. Bessie’s vibrant curiosity and the relationships that unfold with her sister and other children at the beach set the stage for exploration and moral lessons that are woven throughout their summer at Quam Beach. The narrative captures the innocence and imaginative world of children well, promising a delightful read for young audiences.
