Summary: "Master Simon's Garden: A Story" by Cornelia Meigs is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the lives of early Puritan settlers in New England, focusing on Master Simon Radpath and his daughter Margeret as they navigate the challenges of their new home, including community gossip, cultural tensions, and the clash of beliefs. With themes of compassion and the challenges faced by those who choose to embrace kindness in a world often dominated by fear, this story offers insight into the lives and struggles of its characters. The opening of the novel introduces Old Goody Parsons, who visits Master Simon to express her hardships after a difficult winter. Master Simon, a kind and generous man, fills her basket with goods from his flourishing garden, showcasing his reputation as a healer and a friend in the community. As Margeret, Simon’s daughter, helps the old woman, the narrative reveals a mix of appreciation and suspicion directed at Master Simon from some villagers, particularly stemming from gossip regarding a mysterious secret hidden in his garden. This complex relationship is further complicated by the arrival of stern community leaders concerned about perceived sinful behavior in a Puritan society, setting the stage for potential conflict and exploration of themes around acceptance, suspicion, and loyalty.
