Childhood
Childhood is the first chapter in the book Lost Voices of the Edwardians by Max Arthur. The difference between the Edwardian Era and the world we live in today, in 2025, can really be ‘seen’ through the experiences of these Edwardian children. At this time in history, there were no Laws to protect the children, and the NSPCC, (the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children), was in its infancy, (it was founded in 1884 as the London Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children).

Lost Voices of the Edwardians
Being obsessed with all things “Edwardian”, I couldn’t start reading this book fast enough. To read the actual ‘voices’ of children and adults who lived in the Edwardian Era just caught my attention. It was a real eye opener because these people lived in such different times, and although the Edwardian Era was the past moving into the modern, the lives and lifestyles of these ones was still a world away from the way we live today in 2025.
