Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Emmy and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Queen Hildegarde" by Laura E. Richards is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a young girl named Hilda Graham, who is faced with the prospect of spending her summer away from her privileged city life and instead living with a rural family on a farm. The initial challenges she faces reflect her struggles with identity, newfound responsibilities, and the emotional turmoil of leaving her familiar surroundings. At the start of the book, we meet Hilda's concerned parents discussing her lack of health and joy, ultimately deciding that she should be sent to stay with Mrs. Hartley, an old nurse, to improve her well-being away from the city. Hilda is initially upset and resistive, believing her parents are being cruel by leaving her behind. However, as she arrives at Hartley's Glen and becomes acquainted with her new environment, she experiences a journey of self-discovery. Hilda begins to forge new relationships, most notably with a local boy named Bubble Chirk, and gradually learns to appreciate the simpler life of the countryside. This opening sets the stage for her transformation from a discontented city girl to a more grounded and compassionate individual.
