Description
Laura E. Richards, daughter of Julia Ward Howe, published Three Margarets in 1897 for girl readers. A pleasant summer rain opens the book, plashing on elms and locusts and tinkling in roadside puddles. On the roof of a great landau rolling toward Fernley House the rain drums less musically. Inside, three girls ride buried in their own thoughts, and each of them is Margaret.
Cousins with one name and three temperaments must live together for a season. Richards builds the story from their contrasts, quarrels, and reconciliations. Her girls' books were famous for sense and humour without preaching. Three Margarets is a gentle specimen, written in her mother's long shadow and her own clear voice.
