Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. John Verney (illustrator). 1st Edition. Gillian Avery wrote a number of interesting novels for pre-teen children that were based in Victorian and Edwardian England. "To Tame a Sister" centers around Margaret and her siblings, their efforts to ward off boredom, coupled with their intense curiosity about a company of guests staying at her cousin's country home ? can they behave themselves? - or will their parents be embarrassed by their unbecoming behavior? Elements of social issues of the day, such as women's suffrage, education, and class consciousness are elements of the book's setting. On the rear of the cover is a brief snippet from the text: "Do you believe in Women's Rights, Cousin Hester?" Margaret inquired in rather a loud voice. "My dear Margaret," murmured her mother, shocked at her eccentric remark. Cousin Hester eyed Margaret with some curiosity. "Do you send Margaret to one of those new establishments for higher education for girls?" she asked Mrs. Harding. "It is at these High Schools, as I believe they are called, that they preach this lamentable heresy of Women's Rights. Home education is what every mother should wish for her daughter", went on Cousin Hester, twisting and untwisting her beads and gazing into the air with great earnestness. "So that our girls can be brought up like the tender and delicate plants that they are. And so they can be surrounded by only that which is beautiful."
