"Big Game: A Story for Girls" by Mrs. George de Horne Vaizey is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story centers around Margot Vane and her brother Ronald, as they navigate the familial pressures of their father, who wishes Ronald to take a more traditional career path instead of pursuing his poetic ambitions. Margot's determination to assist her brother leads her to devise a plan to get Ronald's poetry published, which includes traveling to a remote Scottish hotel where the poetry editor is known to stay, thus setting in motion an adventure filled with challenges and personal growth. The opening portion of the story introduces Margot as a spirited and resourceful young woman, keen on supporting her poet brother as he struggles with repeated rejections. After a heart-wrenching breakfast where Ronald receives yet another rejection, Margot proposes a bold scheme to travel to Scotland for a chance to meet the poetry editor. The siblings’ banter portrays their close relationship, revealing Margot’s unwavering belief in Ronald's talent and her willingness to confront social norms and family expectations to aid him. As they prepare for their journey, the narrative sets a hopeful and adventurous tone, hinting at the transformative experiences that await them. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
