Morris Monk, a dreamy young inventor, is labouring over his aerophone, a device for speaking across great distances, and is promised to his practical cousin Mary to rescue the family fortunes. Then Stella Fregelius, the daughter of a poor country parson, comes into his life, and the story turns to spiritualism and a bond that reaches past death.
A quiet, unusual 1904 novel, by Haggard’s own admission nothing like his African adventures, for readers who enjoy Victorian tales of the uncanny. Download the free EPUB.
