Edmund Templar is visiting some relatives before being shipped off to the war in South Africa. Wandering in the New Forest, he encounters a strange girl dancing in a clearing, to the music of a penny whistle played by a crippled boy. Eight years later, on his return from the war, he traces the girl, now a young woman, and her musician, and gets deeply involved in their strange history and their stranger future.
Edith Nesbit's story is strongly coloured by society's constraints on the lives of women, and by love and by death. (Summary by Peter Yearsley.) (7 hr 47 min)

This kept my interest the entire time. A long list of characters was a little bit confusing. I was completely surprised by the last few chapters. A love story, mystery. and murder

An excellent reader, a pleasing romance -well crafted. A good sense of place and character. Pleasantly predictable, just the ticket as it were.
