Summary "The Friendly Five: A Story" by Mary C. Hungerford is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a group of schoolgirls at Coventry Institute, focusing on themes of friendship, acceptance, and personal growth. The narrative introduces the main characters, including the spirited Lily Dart, and examines their interactions, particularly with a new student named Mary Ann Stubbs, who comes from a humble background. At the start of the tale, the girls at Coventry Institute prepare for the end of the school year, during which Mr. Bellamy makes a heartfelt appeal to the students to embrace his young granddaughter, Elfie, who is joining them at school. While the girls eagerly anticipate Elfie's arrival, the story hints at the dynamic that will unfold between them all, particularly with the later introduction of Mary Ann Stubbs. The opening chapters lay the groundwork for the themes of kindness and social class, setting in motion the relationships and conflicts that will develop as the girls navigate their school life together.
