Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Witch Winnie: The Story of a 'King's Daughter'" by Elizabeth W. Champney is a charming novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the character of Witch Winnie, a vivacious and imaginative young girl, who is introduced into a boarding school known for its proper and well-behaved pupils. The story unfolds through the eyes of Nellie Smith, one of Winnie’s new classmates, who grapples with her shifting social dynamics as Winnie shakes up their well-ordered lives. The opening of the book introduces us to the structured life at Madame's boarding school, where the privileged girls of the "Amen Corner" take pride in their good behavior. The arrival of Witch Winnie disrupts their routine, and tensions arise as the girls react to her impulsive and lively antics. As Winnie finds her footing among her new peers, she ultimately wins their hearts through her generosity and daring spirit, turning initial disdain into friendship. This sets the stage for various escapades, highlighting themes of companionship, social class, and personal growth in a vibrant boarding school setting.
