| Summary | "Deep Moat Grange" by S. R. Crockett is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to unfold in a rural English setting, focusing on the mysterious occurrences in the village of Breckonside and the surrounding areas. Central characters include Joe Yarrow, a young boy who finds himself embroiled in a mystery, and he is accompanied by Elsie Stennis, a girl with familial ties to the enigmatic Golden Farmer—a figure steeped in local lore. The opening of the novel introduces a significant mystery centered around the disappearance of the Bewick carrier, Harry Foster, and the bloodied state of his mail cart, which evokes a sense of foreboding. Joe recalls the incident as he witnesses the tepid reaction from the village, especially his schoolmaster, Mr. Mustard. As Joe and Elsie decide to investigate further, they are drawn into a world of secrecy that involves Elsie's grandfather, the eccentric and wealthy Mr. Stennis, and his peculiar household, which includes mad relatives and the oppressive atmosphere of Deep Moat Grange itself. The exploration of these interconnected mysteries sets the stage for an engaging tale filled with intrigue and rural charm. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
