Peggy in Her Blue Frock

Peggy is a bright, restless girl whose boundless energy turns a simple house‑moving into a small adventure. As her family packs up the old, spacious home where they were raised, they are also coping with the loss of their father—a country doctor who died in the war. The arrival of a new physician promises to fill the empty practice, while their grandmother from New York offers Peggy a chance at a better education if the family can make the transition work.

Against the backdrop of a bleak March garden and a shy cat named Lady Jane Grey, Peggy’s curiosity about the future grows. She loves the lively world outside dolls and daydreams about the cherry tree she’ll soon see, the vegetables she’ll help tend, and the new school that might open doors for her. As the boxes are labeled and the old books sorted, the children stand on the brink of change, eager to discover what lies beyond the familiar walls of their former home.
