Miss Pat at Artemis Lodge is a volume in Pemberton Ginther’s popular early twentieth-century series of girls’ stories, following the spirited heroine Patricia and her sister as they take up residence at an art and music students’ boarding house in the city. The novel follows their friendships, rivalries, and adventures among aspiring young artists.
Though grouped here with music for its setting among students of the arts, the book is essentially a piece of light juvenile fiction in the wholesome tradition of its day. Readers seeking a gentle period story of ambition and companionship will find it charming, while those after musical history should note that its musical content is incidental to the narrative.
