Summary: "Life's Little Stage" by Agnes Giberne is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life of Magda Royston, a young girl navigating the complexities of friendships and familial obligations as she transitions from school to home life.

In her farewell interactions with her kind mentor, Miss Mordaunt, Magda expresses a desire for a meaningful life, seeking to avoid complacency and mediocrity.
