| Summary | "Hollyhock: A Spirit of Mischief" by L. T. Meade is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the picturesque setting of the Upper Glen, where two families—the Lennoxes and the Constables—live a joyous, carefree life with their children, each named after flowers or precious stones. The plot centers around young Hollyhock (real name Jacqueline), who is spirited and daring, and her five sisters as they prepare for a significant change heralded by the arrival of their aunt Agnes Delacour, who has a scheme that will alter their lives. The opening of the novel introduces the idyllic lives of the children of the Upper Glen, highlighting the close-knit relationships they share and their innocent happiness. It establishes the dynamic within the families, especially the sense of impending change brought about by Aunt Agnes's arrival with her educational plans for the children. As Mr. Lennox reads a letter from Agnes about her intentions, Hollyhock's mischievous spirited nature shines through as she expresses her desire to resist being uprooted from her comfortable world. This sets the stage for conflicts between the playful innocence of childhood and the expectations of adult life, as well as the tension that Aunt Agnes’s plans bring into their lives.
