Plain Jane by G. M. George
"Plain Jane" by G. M. George is a children's novel from the early 20th century. It centers around a character named Jemima Jane, who is depicted as a well-behaved but very plain girl. The story explores themes of virtue, behavior, and the contrast between good and mischievous tendencies, particularly through Jane and her cousin Ann, who has a very different personality. The narrative follows the life of Jemima Jane, who prides herselfon being good and polite, contrasting with her cousin Ann, whose naughty antics lead to a series of comedic misadventures. Despite her well-meaning nature, Jane often finds herself embroiled in disputes with Ann, leading to conflicts that ultimately challenge her ideas about morality and behavior. After a series of trials—including her abduction by a traveling circus—Jane evolves in her perspective. Though still plain, her experiences lead her to a deeper understanding of happiness, behavior, and familial ties, leaving readers with a delightful moral lesson.
