Description

A beautiful reissue of Bernice Thurman Hunter's classic Margaret series, all in one affordable volume.

This classic trilogy of a young girl coming of age in late 1920s-era Ontario is now available in a lovely new edition. Boasting fans of all ages, these novels continue to delight new readers because of the timelessness of Margaret's story.

Through three beautiful novels — A Place for Margaret, Margaret in the Middle and Margaret On Her Way — readers delve into the life of our fearless young heroine. Join Margaret as she deals with the Great Depression, sibling rivalry and a severe illness, all while discovering beauty in the world through her newfound love of horses and the country.

A wonderful series to rediscover, and a perfect new book for lovers of historical fiction.

About the author

Bernice Thurman Hunter was born in 1922. She spent her adult years as an Eaton's employee, and did not publish her first book, That Scatterbrain Booky, until 1981, when she was a grandmother. She went on to write many more highly acclaimed historical novels: two more in the Booky series, and the equally successful margaret series. She received the 1989 Vicky Metcalk Award for her body of work, and was made a Member of the Order of Canada shortly before her death in 2002.
