Summary "Etheldreda the Ready: A School Story" by Mrs. George de Horne Vaizey is a novel written during the late 19th century. This engaging work centers around the young protagonist, Etheldreda Saxon, as she navigates the challenges of family dynamics and personal growth during a tumultuous change in her family's fortunes. At the start of the story, we are introduced to the Saxon family, who have just returned home from a joyful holiday, only to be met with a somber atmosphere as Mr. and Mrs. Saxon reveal that they have lost a significant amount of their wealth. The family's luxuries are being stripped away, and the children, especially Etheldreda, are grappling with the reality of a new life in the country, where they must adapt to different, less glamorous living circumstances. Etheldreda's transition includes the anxiety of adapting to a new school environment, where she is determined to stand out and maintain her spirited personality in the face of these changes. The opening chapters set the stage for her journey toward self-discovery amidst societal expectations and personal challenges. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
