The Annes by Marion Ames Taggart is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on a young girl named Anne Berkley, who delightfully observes the world and expresses her idealism as she navigates family dynamics and relationships, particularly with her adored mother, Mrs. Berkley, and her siblings.

At the start of The Annes, we are introduced to little Anne, who declares her vocation as one dedicated to helping struggling beetles get back on their feet. Through Anne’s vivid imagination and innocent interpretations of life, we witness her deep admiration for her mother, alongside her musings about the roles of women and the meaning of satisfaction.
