Hi Mac,
Glad you enjoyed the blog post! The use of long s definitely slowed down my reading a couple time as I was researching this post. Luckily for modern readers, Cobwebs to Catch Flies was her most popular book and there are several later editions which use the more easily readable "short" s. We have an edition from the 1870s, which might make easier reading for modern children and adults: https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail.jsp?Entt=RDMDC-37131009530916D&R=DC-37131009530916D
