| Summary | "The Tangled Skein" by Baroness Emmuska Orczy is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of 16th century England, during the reign of Queen Mary, the story features the character of Mirrab, a supposed witch, alongside other intriguing figures that reflect the societal dynamics of that era. At the start of the narrative, the bustling East Molesey Fair sets an exuberant scene filled with a vivid cast of characters celebrating in joyous abandon. However, the atmosphere darkens with the introduction of Mirrab and her enigmatic tent, drawing the curiosity and superstitions of the fairgoers. As crowds gather, the fair takes a sudden turn when a mob, fueled by fears and fervor, targets Mirrab for accusations of witchcraft, leading to a dramatic confrontation. This opening establishes a rich setting and the ominous tensions that are anticipated to evolve throughout the tale. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
