| Summary | "The Master Mummer" by E. Phillips Oppenheim is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Arnold Greatson, a struggling writer who yearns for a more profound creative experience beyond the superficial lighthearted tales he has been penning. His desire for authenticity drives him to seek out real stories, eventually leading him to a fateful encounter at a train station and a subsequent dramatic incident involving a terrified young girl named Isobel de Sorrens and the mysterious man who claims to be her guardian. The opening portion of the novel introduces us to Arnold in his creative struggles, balancing light-hearted fiction with a deeper yearning for authenticity in his writing. His conversations with his friend Mabane reveal his frustration with the industry and his aspirations to depict genuine human experiences. After some insightful exchanges about the nature of art and inspiration, Arnold takes a decisive step to explore life more fully by venturing into the bustling world outside, where he soon encounters Isobel and witnesses a tragic and profound series of events that will alter his life fundamentally. The narrative weaves elements of mystery and drama, setting the stage for Arnold's transformation from a passive observer into an active participant in the lives of those around him.
