| Summary | "A Girl of High Adventure" by L. T. Meade is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a spirited young girl named Marguerite St. Juste, who is of Irish and French descent. After the death of her parents, she is raised by her uncle, the Reverend John Mansfield, in England. Marguerite's adventurous spirit leads her to express a desire to connect with her roots in Ireland, where she embarks on a journey to visit her ancestral home and family. The opening of the book introduces Marguerite St. Juste, a lively child living with her strict aunt and loving uncle in England. Despite the limitations imposed by her aunt, Marguerite is imaginative and fearless, often longing for companionship and adventure. In her interactions with her uncle, she learns about her Irish heritage, particularly her family in Desmondstown, which sparks her desire to visit them. As her uncle agrees to facilitate this trip, Marguerite's anticipation builds, setting the stage for her arrival in Ireland and the discoveries awaiting her there. The story blends themes of heritage, familial love, and youthful daring, promising an engaging read for those who appreciate tales of adventure and personal growth.
