“The moorland cottage” is a very moving and emotional story written by Elizabeth Gaskell in 1850. Mrs Browne and her children, Edward and Maggie, lives with their elderly servant, Nancy, in a cottage near the town of Combehurst. It’s no secret that Edward is their mother’s favourite child but while she dotes on her son, she never has a kind word for her daughter. In a big house nearby live the wealthy Mr Buxton and his gentle, loving wife. There are also two children in the Buxton household: their son, Frank, and their niece, Erminia. The Buxtons attempt to befriend the Brownes, but while they can all see the goodness in Maggie, they find it difficult to like the spoilt, selfish Edward and the cold, snobbish Mrs Browne. As the years go by and the lives of the Brownes become more and more entwined with their neighbours’, Maggie is forced to make a decision which could potentially affect the future of both families.The Moorland Cottage shows us the ways in which boys and girls were treated differently in Victorian society and I felt so sorry for Maggie.

99 of 104 people found the following review helpful. Not for everyone, but ... By Savannah The Moorland Cottage is a predictable 19th century British romance (actually written in the 19th century) that follows the literary formula of its day. With that said, sometimes don't you just want to let yourself fall into a romantic novel and pretend it's your life? I don't know anything about the author, Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell, so I don't know how successful she was, but she succeeded with this little novel. I fell in love, had my hopes dashed, and was rescued from a fate worse than death all in the space of a few hours. Gaskell is no Jane Austin, but Ms. Austen didn't write enough books to satisfy my thirst for a good romantic fairy tale written during a time when those books were the bestselling fiction of their day. If you're in the right frame of mind, pick it up and enjoy.

Another work of Mrs. Gaskell's that is well worth a read By 19th century brit lit fan If you enjoyed Cranford you will enjoy this sweet little novella. It is the story of Maggie Browne, a truly kind, sweet, and totally unselfish girl who has a brother, who is the complete opposite of her in personality.Although Maggie knows her brother for what he is,she still loves him, and I am sure you can imagine the conflict,sacrifice, and pain, Maggie will face because of her brother's selfishness.Maggie and her brother's relationship reminded me much of Molly and Cynthia's in "Wives and Daughters," another of Mrs. Gaskell's stories. Mrs. Gaskell never finshed "Wives and Daughters", and so we do not know for sure that Molly is rewarded with the love of the man she loves.However in in this novella, Maggie is eventually rewarded with the devotion of the man she loves, in spite of her brother.I understand this story will be woven into the new Cranford adaptation sequel. It has the caliber of Cranford, Mr. Harrison's Confession, and My Lady Ludlow, a good choice to be sure!

The writing made me like a few characters, loath a couple others and even cry a tear or two.... All was rolling along, I'm enjoying the storyline very much - until the last few chapters. The author took an odd turn in the storyline and then abruptly ended it. The turn of events is so strange I'm tempted to look as see if the upload of the public domain title has been tampered with. Is it a strange joke?I also have no idea why the story is called The Moorland Cottage. I expected the dwelling to take on some big significance in the story, but it didn't.Go ahead and skip this one. Instead I recommend The Enchanted April or Understood Betsy.This upload also had a handful of strange typos. I won't score it low for that reason but it could be easily fixed.
