Summary "Peggy from Kerry" by L. T. Meade is a novel written in the early 20th century. It tells the story of Peggy Desmond, a young girl from a modest background in County Kerry, Ireland, who is brought to live with a more affluent English family, the Wyndhams, following the death of her father. The narrative explores the challenges and adjustments Peggy faces as she navigates her new life, contrasting her peasant roots with the expectations of her new social standing. At the start of the story, we are introduced to the Wyndhams, specifically Mrs. Wyndham, who is distressed by her husband's decision to adopt Peggy in light of their late friend’s wishes. As the girls, Molly and Jessie, learn about their new sister, they express a mixture of curiosity and trepidation. Meanwhile, Peggy's experience in her Irish upbringing highlights her innocence and attachment to her earlier life. When Mr. Wyndham arrives to fetch Peggy, we see her reluctance and emotional struggle as she leaves the only home she has ever known, setting the stage for her journey of self-discovery and the cultural clashes that she will encounter in England.
