The Pansy Magazine, November 1887

"The Pansy Magazine, November 1887" by Various is a children's magazine from the late 1800s filled with stories, poems, and articles to teach kids important lessons. Overseen by "Pansy," also known as Mrs. G. R. Alden, the magazine focuses on topics like friendship, family, faith, and being a good person, which were popular ideas in stories from that time. The magazine starts with a letter from a girl named Cora, who tells a story about a mistake she made at a wedding and how she learned to be honest and responsible. Through Cora's journey and other tales, the magazine aims to entertain young readers while subtly teaching them about morals and good character.
