The Dingbat of Arcady is a novel written by Marguerite Ogden Bigelow Wilkinson and published in 1922. The story is set in the fictional town of Arcady, which is located in the countryside of New England. The protagonist of the story is a young woman named Lulu Bett, who is known as the dingbat of the town due to her perceived lack of intelligence and social grace.Lulu lives with her sister and brother-in-law, who treat her poorly and take advantage of her. However, Lulu's life takes a turn when she meets a young man named Ninian Deacon, who is a writer and artist. Ninian sees something in Lulu that others do not and encourages her to pursue her own passions and interests.As Lulu begins to blossom under Ninian's influence, she also becomes involved in a love triangle between Ninian and another man named Dwight Deacon, who is Ninian's cousin. The novel explores themes of self-discovery, love, and the limitations imposed by social conventions.Overall, The Dingbat of Arcady is a charming and poignant novel that offers a glimpse into the lives of small-town residents in early 20th century America. It is a story of hope, resilience, and the power of individuality to overcome societal expectations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
