“Book Descriptions: Dimsie Maitland has left school, and the future seems anything but promising. Her father has recently died, and her plans for a medical career have to be abandoned when she sees how much her mother now needs her companionship - especially as their new home is to be in a remote lochside cottage in Scotland.
But the enterprising Dimsie thinks up an alternative career for herself, as a "herb doctor", growing and using herbs for medical purposes.
And her sympathy and naturally sunny temperament soon win her friends among her new neighbours: young Lintie, the orphan; Miss Withers, Lintie's guardian; even the Ogre, the misanthropic author. Her schoolfriends, too, come to stay - Pam, Erica and Jean, all co-members of the Anti-Soppist League at Jane's. To Dimsie's horror, however, she discovers that Pam appears to have turned into a Soppist she has fallen in love!
But gradually Dimsie comes to understand what has happened to Pam - for she herself falls victim to the same disease, thereby learning both the problems and the pleasures of "growing up".”
