About this eBook

Author Birmingham, George A., 1865-1950
Title Lalage's Lovers
Credits Produced by David Widger
Summary "Lalage's Lovers" by George A. Birmingham is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows the charming and spirited Lalage Beresford, a young girl navigating her unique world filled with playful antics and witty exchanges, particularly with her churchwarden friend, who finds himself drawn into her escapades and musings. The opening of the book introduces us to the protagonist Lalage, a lively fourteen-year-old girl, as she engages in mischievous and thought-provoking conversations with her friend, working through her complicated relationship with her governess, Miss Battersby, in the playful confines of a pigsty, a site representative of her free-spirited nature. This setting reveals Lalage's brazen character and her humorous yet insightful critiques of authority figures around her, particularly women like her governess, whom she nicknames "Cattersby" in a cheeky display of youthful irreverence. As the story unfolds, her interactions reflect her precociousness and the broader implications of how she navigates societal expectations while maintaining her individualism, laying the groundwork for her development throughout the novel.
