| Summary | "Hunter's Marjory" by Margaret Bruce Clarke is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on a young girl named Marjory Davidson, who is struggling with feelings of loneliness and the strict upbringing enforced by her uncle. At the beginning of the book, Marjory faces emotional turmoil as she desires to learn and connect with others, yearning for companionship and more information about her family, particularly her father, who has been absent from her life. The opening of the story introduces Marjory in a moment of despair, crying beneath a tree with her dog, Silky, by her side. She meets Mrs. Forester and her daughter Blanche, who offer compassion and friendship. As Marjory confides in Mrs. Forester about her longing to attend school and learn more about her father, the complexities of her home life and her uncle’s protective nature are revealed. The doctor, though stern, deeply loves Marjory yet struggles to connect with her emotionally as he has imposed a strict, practical education on her, intending to shield her from what he perceives as the dangers of an overly imaginative upbringing. Thus, the stage is set for Marjory's journey towards understanding, friendship, and discovering her own identity. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
