"A Terrible Tomboy" by Angela Brazil is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Peggy Vaughan, a spirited and adventurous girl who often teeters on the edge of mischief. As a tomboy, she challenges traditional gender roles while navigating the expectations of her family and the danger of her own daring nature. At the start of the book, Peggy is introduced as a lively character full of energy and spontaneity. The opening chapter depicts her antics as she explores her surroundings, showcasing her fearless spirit as she performs dangerous stunts. Her cousin Lilian searches for her and expresses concern about Peggy's reckless behavior, which ultimately leads to a promise of better conduct. This sets the tone for Peggy's character as she grapples with her desire for adventure while still seeking the approval of her family, particularly Aunt Helen, who takes on a maternal role in Peggy's life. The idyllic setting of Gorswen Abbey is vividly described, providing a rich backdrop for Peggy's escapades and the bond she shares with her family and friends.
