by OpenStories
Original author: Mrs. George de Horne Vaizey
"About Peggy Saville" by Mrs. George de Horne Vaizey is a novel written in the late 19th century. It follows the life of Peggy Saville, a girl who transitions from a life in India to living at a vicarage in England along with the vicar's children. The narrative unfolds as Peggy navigates her new environment, forging friendships, and revealing her charming yet mischievous character. At the start of the story, the Vicar of Renton receives a letter from Mrs. Saville regarding her daughter Peggy, who is set to move in with the vicar's family while her mother returns to India. The vicar and his wife, Mrs. Asplin, discuss the logistics of accommodating Peggy, who is described as a bright and clever girl despite her past struggles in school. As Peggy arrives, her unique personality and flair are immediately apparent—she exhibits both a sense of confidence and a tendency to stir up mischief. The opening chapters depict her early interactions with the vicar's children and set the stage for the humorous and heartfelt tales of her new life and the charm she brings to her surroundings.
