Hunter's Marjory A Story for Girls

"Hunter's Marjory" by Margaret Bruce Clarke is a story about a young girl, Marjory Davidson, caught in a world of loneliness and strict rules. She yearns to learn, make friends, and understand her family, especially her absent father. We first meet Marjory in tears, finding comfort only in her dog, Silky, until she encounters a kind woman, Mrs. Forester, and her daughter, Blanche, who offer her the friendship she craves. As Marjory shares her dreams of going to school and learning about her father, we discover the challenges of her life with her uncle, a doctor, whose sternness hides his deep love for her. He believes shielding her from imagination will protect her, setting the stage for Marjory's path toward self-discovery and connection.
