Author Description

Blanche and Agnes is a novel written by Mrs. Perring in 1869. The story revolves around two sisters, Blanche and Agnes, who are left orphaned after the death of their father. Blanche, the elder sister, is beautiful and charming while Agnes is plain and unremarkable. The sisters are taken in by their uncle, who is cold and distant towards them. Blanche is courted by a wealthy suitor, Mr. Fitzroy, while Agnes is left to her own devices. However, as the story progresses, it becomes clear that Mr. Fitzroy is not what he seems and has ulterior motives for pursuing Blanche. Agnes, on the other hand, finds solace in her friendship with a kind and gentle neighbor, Mr. Howard. As the sisters navigate their way through the challenges of life, they learn valuable lessons about love, loyalty, and the importance of family. Blanche and Agnes is a heartwarming tale of sisterhood, love, and the resilience of the human spirit. Mrs. Perring's writing is engaging and vivid, transporting readers to a bygone era where societal norms and expectations were vastly different from today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
