Summary "The Child of the Moat: A Story for Girls. 1557 A.D." by I. B. Stoughton Holborn is a historical fiction novel written in the early 20th century. This captivating tale is set against the backdrop of the Reformation, showcasing themes of love and hate. The narrative likely revolves around a young girl named Aline, exploring her adventures and the challenges she faces in a world fraught with conflict and intrigue. The opening of the narrative introduces readers to Father Laurence, a parish priest troubled by the recent death of a local woman, Sarah Moulton, and the implications of her curse against a neighbor. Simultaneously, we meet the ominous figure of "Moll o’ the graves," a wicked old woman who embodies the darker themes of the story. As the plot unfolds, the tale shifts to Aline and her cousin Audry, who discover a secret book in their ancestral home that hints at hidden treasures and chambers. Their curiosity ultimately leads them on a journey of exploration, positioning Aline as a compassionate and brave character willing to risk everything for those in need, including a mysterious stranger named Ian Menstrie. This promising opening suggests a blend of gothic elements, adventure, and poignant themes regarding childhood, societal expectations, and personal sacrifice.
