About this ebook

This carefully crafted ebook: "PENELOPE'S PROGRESS – The Complete Series: Penelope's English Experiences, Penelope's Experiences in Scotland, Penelope's Irish Experiences & Penelope's Postscripts" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
Penelope Hamilton is a young American lady, who travels abroad to Europe with two of her friends, Francesca and Salemina. Salemina is a classy woman, sophisticated and open to world, while Francesca is inflexibly, almost aggressively American. Together these ladies discover the British Isles, experiencing differences of England, Scotland and Ireland, and going through few adventures of their own, including romances, affairs and a marriage. For the final adventure, they cross to the main land and find their selves in the hills of Switzerland and in the sunny Venice.
Kate Douglas Wiggin (1856-1923) was an American educator and author of children's stories, most notably the classic children's novel Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. She started the first free kindergarten in San Francisco in 1878 (the Silver Street Free Kindergarten). With her sister during the 1880s, she also established a training school for kindergarten teachers. Kate Wiggin devoted her adult life to the welfare of children in an era when children were commonly thought of as cheap labor.

    The second Penelope book. Like the first book, half of this one takes place in the city, and half in the country. The Edinburgh section is a little too heavy on Scottish theology, but other than that, the book has the same light, pleasant touch as the first. This one reads more like a (fictional) travelogue than the first.

    This is the delightful sequel to Penelope's Experiences in England, and I downloaded it with squeals of delight onto my Kindle (my first Gutenburg download) The Squeals were entirely justified, as it is as lovely as the first volume (making allowance for the excess of Scots dialect which does become a little 'much') Penelope, Francesca and Salemina, three single (although P is now engaged) American women, travel to Scotland to continue their adventures in Great Britain. They enchant, and are enchanted by, Edinburgh society, and settle into a quaint country cottage where their doings and those of the villagers are described to the reader with lightness and wit. The episode of 'playing Sir Patrick Spens' is especially good.The modern reader must approach these books with 21st century prejudices packed away and entirely forgotten. I cannot pretend that they are progressive, groundbreaking or brave in any way. But they are well-observed, funny and very much of their time (1890s-1900s) The three friends inhabit a world very like that of the adults in Lewis Carroll's 'Sylvie and Bruno', or the parents of Nesbit's Five Children. They are a social class above the Three Men in a Boat, although they might have dared to take tea with them, and would have had a jolly time. I can imagine them visiting the tea garden on the river kept by Mr Polly's 'plump woman' - and they would certainly have been amused at the sign for 'omlets'.In short, these are little glimpses into a lost world - it's like reading the lives of the people that read the advertisements in The Illustrated London News. Although she tells her story with mirth and an eye for the ridiculous, the heroine's life is serious and real to the narrator, and it is this complete lack of anything arch or false that makes it a joy to read, and the characters such pleasant company.
