The Lucas Girls
By Dorothea Moore
With Six Illustrations by Tom Peddie
Published by S.W. Partridge & Co Ltd: London 1911 (Undated but page 32 of publishers catalogue mentions 1911 so presumably this is the 1911 1st Edition.)
The Lucas Girls by Dorothea Moore is a charming early 20th-century school and family story centered around the lives of the spirited Lucas sisters. First published in 1911, the novel follows the girls as they navigate the challenges of growing up, managing family responsibilities, and facing the ups and downs of boarding school life. Each sister has a distinct personality, and their individual struggles and triumphs create a lively, heartwarming narrative filled with humor, drama, and moral reflection.
Dorothea Moore, known for her engaging stories for girls, emphasizes values such as loyalty, perseverance, and kindness. The Lucas girls are portrayed as intelligent, determined, and deeply devoted to one another, making the book both a celebration of sisterhood and a reflection of the expectations placed on young women of the time. With its mix of schoolroom rivalries, heartfelt moments, and personal growth, The Lucas Girls remains a fine example of early girls' fiction, capturing the spirit and ideals of post-Edwardian youth literature."
