"A Terrible Tomboy" by Angela Brazil is a story about Peggy Vaughan, a brave young girl who loves adventure and often finds herself in trouble. Peggy is a tomboy, meaning she doesn't always follow the rules for girls at the time, and the story shows how she deals with her family's expectations and the risks she takes. The book begins by showing Peggy's lively personality and how she enjoys exploring and doing daring things, which worries her cousin Lilian. Peggy promises to be better, but she still wants adventure while also wanting to please her family, especially her Aunt Helen, who cares for her. The story takes place at the beautiful Gorswen Abbey, where Peggy's adventures and relationships with her family and friends come to life.
