The Getting of Wisdom tells the story of Laura Rambotham, a 12-year-old girl who is just starting at her boarding school. This is based on Henry Handel Richardson's (Ethel Florence Lindesay Richardson) experiences of her own school, the Prebysterian Ladies College in central Melbourne. The story goes through her friends and enemies, in the process, showing us the life of a boarding school in early 20's Australia.
