Samantha Learns a Lesson
Samantha Parkington is a bright Victorian beauty being raised by her wealthy grandmother in 1904. Samantha's stories describe her life during this important period of change. Her own world is filled with frills and finery, parties and play. But Samantha sees that times are not good for everybody. That's why she tries to make a difference in the life of her friend Nellie, a servant girl whose world is nothing like Samantha's!

Samantha sets up her own school to teach Nellie how to read. But Nellie teaches Samantha some important lessons, too.
