| Summary | "Fanny, the Flower-Girl; or, Honesty Rewarded" by Selina Bunbury is a children's storybook likely written in the mid-19th century. The narrative centers around a young girl named Fanny, who sells flowers in the streets to support her sick grandmother. The opening portion introduces Fanny's struggles as she attempts to sell her flowers, highlighting themes of honesty, kindness, and the struggles of orphanhood. The beginning of the tale portrays Fanny as an earnest and resourceful child, navigating her day-to-day challenges with a hopeful spirit. In her encounters with various passersby, she sells flowers while yearning for someone to acknowledge her sales efforts. A significant moment occurs when a kind gentleman mistakenly gives her a half-sovereign instead of the intended sixpence for her flowers, after which Fanny's commitment to honesty becomes evident as she rushes to return the extra money, setting the stage for moral lessons interwoven with her life story.
