The Getting of Wisdom by Henry Handel Richardson
The Getting of Wisdom by Henry Handel Richardson
The Getting of Wisdom tells the story of Laura Rambotham, a 12-year-old girl who is just starting at her boarding school. This is based on Henry Handel Richardson’s experiences of her own school, the Prebysterian Ladies College in central Melbourne. The story goes through her friends and enemies and all the life of a boarding school in early 20th century Australia, and all the subjects and learning too. (Summary by Bronwyn Kate)
