The Lambs of Littlecote
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating Victorian penny dreadful school story penned by E.H. Burrage, showcased in this evocative photograph from the 1890s. The image depicts four young boys, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of the moonlight, gathered around a small kitchen table. Their expressions are a delightful mix of mischief and hunger as they prepare to indulge in a clandestine midnight feast. The boys have managed to procure a spread of mouth-watering delicacies: a ham, pickles, and a pie. One boy is in the midst of cutting the pie, while another eagerly reaches for a slice of ham. The third boy, with a smear of pickle on his cheek, grins mischievously at the camera. The fourth boy, with a piece of pie in hand, looks up at his companions, a satisfied smile playing on his lips. The scene is set in the dimly lit kitchen, with the boys' shadows dancing on the walls. The table is strewn with remnants of their feast, and the boys' clothes are disheveled, suggesting they have come straight from their beds. The atmosphere is one of excitement and adventure, as the boys savor their illicit treat, away from the watchful eyes of their schoolmasters. This photograph perfectly encapsulates the spirit of "The Lambs of Littlecote," a thrilling penny dreadful school story that continues to captivate readers with its tale of mischief, camaraderie, and the thrill of the forbidden. The image transports us back to a time when the simple pleasures of a midnight feast could seem like the most exciting adventure of all.
