Summary "Meg's Friend: A Story for Girls" by Alice Corkran is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around a young girl named Meg, who lives in a dilapidated boarding house and navigates her lonely childhood amidst neglect and mystery surrounding her parentage. Through her relationship with Mr. William Standish, a journalist who becomes her friend and protector, the story explores themes of friendship, identity, and the search for belonging. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Meg, a silent and observant child, living under the care of the indifferent landlady, Mrs. Browne. Her life changes with the arrival of Mr. Standish, who becomes a source of companionship and inspiration for Meg. Their interactions reveal Meg’s desire to find out more about her deceased mother, whom she imagines as a beautiful lady. The opening chapters set the stage for Meg's emotional growth and her journey toward recognizing her self-worth, emphasizing her determination to pursue education and a better life despite her circumstances. The intricacies of her character are highlighted through moments of poignant reflection and the fierce loyalty she demonstrates toward her newfound friend.
