"yet I tell you, from the sad knowledge of my older experience, that to every one of you a day will most likely come when sunshine, hope, presents and pleasure will be worth nothing to you in comparison with the unattainable gift of your mother's kiss." (Christina Rossetti, "Speaking Likenesses," 1873)

ouch!

I'm trawling through the Oxford Companion to Children's Literature, trying to assemble a comprehensive bibliography for my PhD project, and I came across an entry that sums up the writer's work: "Her books are sentimental and poorly written."

ouch!

what a way to be remembered.....
