"Lolla : or,The sin of greediness by Lucy Ellen Guernsey" is a didactic children's novella written in the mid- to late-1800s, likely during the Victorian era. The book follows the experiences of a young girl named Lolla who, due to delicate health and her parents' circumstances, is sent to live with her strict but caring Aunt Delight in Dorchester. The story explores the topic of greediness—particularly concerning a child's unhealthy obsession with food—and the moral and physical consequences it brings, all set against the backdrop of domestic life and gentle religious instruction. The story centers on Lolla's struggle with gluttony and deceit as she adapts to the structured, wholesome lifestyle of her aunt's household after a more indulgent upbringing. Lolla secretly consumes sweets and treats, develops health problems as a result, and ultimately falls dangerously ill after a bout of overeating and dishonesty. Throughout her recovery, aided by Aunt Delight and the compassionate Mr. Locke, Lolla is guided to reflect on her mistakes, confess her wrongdoing, and seek moral improvement not just in her habits but in her heart. The book intertwines Lolla's journey with the stories of other household members, such as Philly, a once-mistrusted servant girl who proves her integrity. By the end, Lolla matures into a disciplined, responsible, and faithful young woman, having learned the importance of self-control, honesty, and dependence on God's help to overcome her faults.
