The Three Wishes: A Tale For Girls (1876) is a children's book written by Mary F. Seymour. The story revolves around three sisters, Mary, Ellen, and Jane, who are poor but content with their simple life. One day, they come across a magical fish that grants them three wishes. The sisters each make a wish, but soon realize that their wishes come with unexpected consequences. Mary wishes for a beautiful dress but finds that it attracts unwanted attention from a vain suitor. Ellen wishes for a luxurious home but finds that it brings her family more trouble than comfort. Jane wishes for a kind husband but finds that he is too kind, allowing others to take advantage of him. In the end, the sisters learn the valuable lesson that material possessions and external beauty are not the key to happiness, and that true happiness lies in the love and support of family and friends. The book is a charming and timeless tale that teaches children about the importance of contentment, gratitude, and the dangers of greed.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
