Produced by Lionel Sear "The Carroll Girls" by Mabel Quiller-Couch is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the four Carroll sisters — Esther, Penelope, Angela, and Poppy — as they navigate the challenges of their family life, including the neglect of their home and their mother’s inability to provide for them. Their lives are transformed when they are sent to live with their cousin Charlotte in Devonshire, where they will seek to adjust to a new environment and build a brighter future. The opening portion of the novel introduces us to the characters and their struggles. Penelope, the second eldest, is described as a dreamy child who enjoys the neglected beauty of their garden, while Esther, the eldest, is more practical and frustrated by their family's poverty. The narrative reveals the children's gradual descent into hardship, including the absence of their father and their mother's emotional detachment. As they prepare to leave their old home for their new life with Cousin Charlotte, the sisters experience a plethora of emotions—excitement for change mingled with sadness for leaving behind their familiar surroundings and the weight of uncertainty in their future. This opening sets a poignant tone for the challenges and adventures that lie ahead for the four sisters.
