Esther Bakewell was the author of: The Book of One Syllable (1842), Eagle Cliff (1842) and The New Book of One Syllable (1868). "Though in words of one syllable, "The Book of One Syllable" is not meant for a child when first he learns to read; it is meant for him when he knows such words at sight. The tales are told in these small words, that a child need not have to stop to spell, but that he may be led on and on till he comes to the end. May he feel when he does come to the end, that to read has not been a task. "
