"Big Game: A Story for Girls" by Mrs. George de Horne Vaizey is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story centers around Margot Vane and her brother Ronald, as they navigate the familial pressures of their father, who wishes Ronald to take a more traditional career path instead of pursuing his poetic ambitions.
