Summary "The Shadow of Ashlydyat" by Mrs. Henry Wood is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the quaint town of Prior's Ash, introducing us to the Godolphin family, particularly focusing on Sir George Godolphin, who has recently recovered from a long illness, and his children, including the charming George Godolphin and his sisters. The narrative hints at a blend of social dynamics, family relationships, and the eerie superstitions surrounding their estate, particularly the ominous "Shadow" that supposedly foretells misfortune for the family. The opening of the novel sets the scene on an autumn day as the townsfolk gather for the first meet of the hounds, creating an atmosphere ripe with excitement. Sir George Godolphin, still regaining his strength, is introduced along with his son Thomas and daughters Bessy and Janet, establishing their familial bonds and character traits. A mysterious element is introduced through conversations about the enigmatic "Shadow" of Ashlydyat—an apparition that is believed to portend calamity for the Godolphins. This blend of family encounters, social gatherings, and a whisper of supernatural unease creates a compelling backdrop for the drama that is set to unfold.
