Reading & Writing Lesson (RETIRED)

This set was introduced in 1991 and retired in 2001. After retirement, the quill pen and inkwell from this set were combined with the Windsor Writing Chair, and the price of that piece was raised. The set is associated with the book, Felicity Learns a Lesson.

PC description: Mother taught Felicity to read the alphabet and the Lord's Prayer using the wooden hornbook. Her writing supplies include a quill pen, which she dipped in an inkwell that came from Holland. Felicity sewed paper together to make her copybook, used to practice writing properly. And when she got bored, she drew pictures of her horse, Penny! Pretend the shiny sander is filled with "punch" to sprinkle on her writing and dry up the ink blots.


I recently aquired this set in a lot from Craigslist

The set is comeplete.

Grade: A

I think this set is one of my favorites. I have the school supplies for all of the historical dolls and this is the only one that has writing in the book

Felicity's copybook is made from paper that she sewed together. It is partially filled with her handwriting practice and even shows some ink smudges. There are also pictures that she drew of her horse Penny.

Also included in the set is a "sander" (shaker) to shake onto the paper for ink smudges made from nice, heavy metal; a wooden hornbook featuring the alphabet and a prayer; and her ceramic inkwell and real feather quill pen.
