Summary: "The School-Girls' Treasury: or, Stories for Thoughtful Girls" by Lucy Ellen Guernsey is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The book addresses various moral and social lessons through the experiences of young girls, aiming to provoke thoughtfulness and character development in its readers. Central characters such as Anna, who faces disappointment, and Etty, who struggles with her emotions, navigate challenges that teach them valuable lessons about virtue and resilience. The opening of the book introduces us to Anna, who is feeling quite downcast due to her friend Lillie's sudden departure for Germany, leaving Anna alone while her family is away. As Anna contemplates her solitude, she receives wisdom from Caroline, the family's cook, encouraging her to "make the best of it" despite her disappointment. This interaction serves as a catalyst for Anna to confront her feelings, engage in creative pursuits, and grow in character as she learns to turn her sorrow into positive action. The portrayal of Anna's internal struggle and her gradual acceptance of her circumstances highlights the book's focus on personal growth and moral integrity.
