"A story of schoolgirl life. The scene of the tale is the girls' college of St. Wode's, Wingfield, 'the place in all England where women who wish to distinguish themselves ought to receive training.' The undergraduates come from all classes of society, but the tale is chiefly concerned in the doings of the Gilroy girls and their benefactor, Mr. Parker." -from: The Review of Reviews, Volume 18, 1898.

Mrs. L.T. Meade (Elizabeth Thomasina Meade Toulmin Smith), was a prolific children's author of Anglo Irish extraction. Born in 1844, Meade was the eldest daughter of a Protestant clergyman, whose church was in County Cork. Moving from Ireland to London as a young woman, after the death of her mother, she studied in the Reading Room of the British Museum in preparation for her intended career as a writer, before marrying Alfred Toulmin Smith in September 1879. The author of close to 300 books, Meade wrote in many genres, but is best known for her girls' school stories. She was one of the editors of the girls' magazine, Atalanta from 1887-93, and was active in women's issues. She died in 1914.
