Many Children is a novel written by Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer and first published in 1921. The story revolves around the life of a wealthy New York family, the Deanes, and their struggles to maintain their social status and reputation in the face of personal tragedy and financial difficulties. The Deanes have six children, each with their own unique personality and challenges. The eldest son, Richard, is a successful lawyer but struggles with alcoholism, while the youngest daughter, Mary, is a talented artist but feels unfulfilled in her privileged life. The family's matriarch, Mrs. Deane, is a strong-willed woman who tries to keep the family together despite their problems. The novel explores themes of family, love, and sacrifice, and offers a glimpse into the lives of the wealthy elite in early 20th century America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
