About this eBook

Author Giberne, Agnes, 1845-1939
Title Life's little stage
Original Publication London: The Religious Tract Society, 1913.
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. It addresses themes of personal ambition and the struggle for self-identity in a societal framework that often devalues individual aspirations. The opening of the novel introduces Magda as she prepares to leave school and return home, filled with mixed emotions about her departure. In her farewell interactions with her kind mentor, Miss Mordaunt, Magda expresses a desire for a meaningful life, seeking to avoid complacency and mediocrity. As she grapples with feelings of being unwanted at home, the narrative hints at her longing for a greater purpose and her dreams about the future, which are complicated by her close relationships and the impending arrival of old and new friends. This initial encounter sets the stage for Magda's journey of self-discovery and the challenges she faces as she seeks to carve out a significant role in a world that prefers conformity.
