Summary "Penelope's Progress" by Kate Douglas Smith Wiggin is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the character Penelope Hamilton as she embarks on a journey through Scotland with her two friends, Salemina and Francesca. The narrative hints at themes of friendship, cultural exploration, and Penelope’s personal growth amidst the charming yet complex backdrop of Scottish society. At the start of the novel, the trio arrives in Edinburgh, filled with excitement and reminiscence of past travels together. They reflect on their differences and quirks, establishing a friendship that thrives on understanding and acceptance. Penelope’s own romantic entanglements are alluded to, adding layers to her character as she navigates her emotions while awaiting the arrival of Mr. Beresford.
