Summary "The Red Court Farm: A Novel (Vol. 1 of 2)" by Mrs. Henry Wood is a fictional novel written in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of a coastal English village, the story introduces readers to the Thornycroft family and their residence, the Red Court Farm. The narrative weaves together themes of family dynamics, local gossip, and superstitions, hinting at underlying tensions and conflicts within the community. The opening of the novel establishes a vivid setting, describing the rugged coastline and the seemingly isolated Red Court Farm, previously the site of an ancient castle. It introduces key characters, including Mr. Thornycroft, a local magistrate, and his children, who display a range of personalities and relationships that set the stage for future developments. Clara Lake and her husband Robert are introduced in the latter part of the beginning, with a focus on Clara's ominous dream, foreshadowing events that may intertwine their lives with the Thornycrofts. This blend of haunting local legends and personal relationships paints a rich picture and creates suspense about what will unfold as the narrative progresses.
