Penelope's English Experiences Kate Douglas Wiggin

Penelope Hamilton is a young American from Scotland, her friend Francesca is an "aggressive American" and Salemina is a "citizen of the world". Together they endured the humidity and chill of Edinburgh, attended a noble birthday party, appeared at the Scottish court, explored the countryside and immersed themselves in the society of small Scottish town life. Romance and marriage can also be seen.
