A fictional novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around young girls, primarily Rachel and Kitty Lovel, as they navigate their lives at Avonsyde, a historic estate, and the intriguing possibilities the forest holds. The narrative hints at elements of fantasy and mystery, particularly surrounding the idea of a mystical lady in the forest, while exploring themes of family, heritage, and the quest for belonging. At the start of the journey, readers are introduced to Rachel and Kitty, who are caught between a vivid world of imagination and the realities of their lives. As they engage with their Aunt Grizel and prepare for the arrival of their cousin Philip, the setting of Avonsyde and the surrounding forest come to life as enchanted places filled with secrets. The plot thickens as the children's history becomes intertwined with that of their ancient family estate, hinting at the legacy of their ancestors and the search for a rightful heir. Rachel, in particular, is drawn to the idea of the forest's magic, fostering a longing for adventure and connection beyond her immediate surroundings.
