Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"A Little Girl in Old Quebec" by Amanda M. Douglas is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a young girl named Rose, who navigates life in the early settlement of Quebec, showcasing her adventures and daily life among the settlers and the natural landscapes around her. At the start of the novel, we encounter Ralph Destournier, who is captivated by the wild beauty of the land and reflects on the ambitions of Samuel de Champlain. He meets Rose, a spirited child who reveals her disdain for the restrictions imposed upon her by adults, particularly regarding her upbringing. As their relationship develops, Destournier teaches her to read and shares exciting tales about their new home. The early chapters establish the backdrop of the early Quebec settlement, highlight Rose's independence, and introduce the complexities of life in a new land, setting the stage for her growth and the unfolding narrative.
