Description: London, T. Nelson and Sons, 1894. 18.5 x 12.5 cm. 152 pp. Original decorated cloth. With 6 b/w plates. - First published in 1883. - A.L.O.E. pseudonym of Charlotte Maria Tucker (1821-1893) - 'Not only was a knowledge of the common law thought to be
helpful to children, but in 'Parliament in the Playroom' a group of English children learn basic notions of English government. When their parents go to London, the children create a parliament to rule themselves. Young Margaret, a great expert on the English parliament, leads the debates. With women's suffrage a major controversy in England and America around the time of publication, one wonders whether the author hoped that young girls who read of Margaret's efforts might aspire to a larger parliament than merely the playroom.'
