The Golden Ladder: Stories of the Eight Beatitudes by Susan and Anna Warner
Circa 1890s (Undated)

This beautifully crafted volume, The Golden Ladder, contains stories inspired by the Eight Beatitudes, aiming to illuminate these teachings through engaging, character-driven narratives. Susan and Anna Warner were among the few female authors publishing at the time, contributing unique voices to Christian and moral literature in a period when men dominated the field.

About the Authors:
The Warner sisters were known for their strong religious convictions and dedication to writing for young audiences. Susan Warner, the more widely known of the two, is also the author of the popular Christian novel The Wide, Wide World. Their works often reflect values of faith, resilience, and virtue, all central to their narratives and reflective of the period’s cultural values.

Publishing Details:
Published by Frederick Warne & Co. (London), a distinguished publisher known for its high-quality literature in the late 19th century, this edition adds an extra layer of historical significance.

Design and Condition:
Bound in a striking red cloth with elaborate gold gilt and intricate blind-stamped decorations, this edition is a fine example of 19th-century bookbinding. These ornate details add elegance and character, making it an eye-catching addition to any shelf. While the book is generally in good condition, there is a full seam split between the front pastedown and title page. Additionally, the bottom corner of page 89 is torn off; however, the missing piece is included, ensuring the page is still readable. (See attached photo for details.)

This volume captures a unique piece of literary history from a time when books were carefully crafted and meant to be cherished, reflecting both the values and the artistry of the late 19th century. Ideal for collectors of antiquarian Christian literature or fans of period-bound books, it offers a fascinating look into the religious teachings and moral tales of the era.
