''Millicent Legh: A Tale'' is a novel written by Emma Marshall and published in 1866. The story revolves around the life of Millicent Legh, a young girl who is orphaned at a young age and sent to live with her uncle, Sir William Legh, at his estate in the English countryside. Millicent is a kind and gentle girl, but she struggles to fit in with her wealthy and aristocratic relatives.As Millicent grows up, she becomes increasingly disillusioned with the shallow and materialistic world of high society. She finds solace in her love for nature and her desire to help others, particularly the poor and disadvantaged. Millicent’s compassion and generosity endear her to the people around her, but they also put her at odds with her uncle and his friends, who view her as a naive and impractical dreamer.Despite the challenges she faces, Millicent remains steadfast in her beliefs and eventually finds happiness and fulfillment in her own way. Along the way, she learns valuable lessons about the importance of kindness, charity, and perseverance in the face of adversity.''Millicent Legh: A Tale'' is a classic work of Victorian literature that explores themes of social class, morality, and the search for meaning and purpose in life. It is a poignant and uplifting story that will resonate with readers of all ages and backgrounds.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
