| Summary |
"Morag: A Tale of the Highlands of Scotland" by Janet Milne Rae is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story focuses on two young girls from vastly different backgrounds: Blanche Clifford, an English girl visiting her father in the Highlands, and Morag Dingwall, a simple and untaught daughter of a gamekeeper. The narrative appears to explore themes of adventure, friendship, and the contrasting lives of children shaped by their environments." "At the start of the novel, Blanche arrives in the picturesque Glen Eagle, filled with excitement and dreams of adventure. She is thrilled to be in Scotland with her father, a sportsman, but feels disappointed at the prospect of lessons with her governess, Miss Prosser. Meanwhile, we are introduced to Morag, who lives a solitary life in a dilapidated hut with her father, indulging in the beauty of her rugged surroundings but lacking formal education or social interaction. The opening sets the stage for their eventual friendship, signaling the beginning of their intertwined fates as they navigate their respective lives in the magnificent Highlands."
