Summary "Lud-in-the-Mist" by Hope Mirrlees is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the small, idyllic country of Dorimare, particularly focusing on its capital, Lud-in-the-Mist, where the protagonist, Master Nathaniel Chanticleer, grapples with his own inner fears and the reality of his life. The town is situated on the outskirts of Fairyland, introducing a rich tapestry of fantasy that intertwines with the lives of its inhabitants. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the picturesque setting of Lud-in-the-Mist and its flourishing central plain. Master Nathaniel is characterized as a typical resident—cheerful yet haunted by an unnameable fear stemming from a childhood incident involving a ghostly note he stumbled upon. As he navigates his role as a civic leader, he is also faced with a personal crisis regarding his sensitive son, Ranulph, who exhibits signs of distress, leading to concerns about his well-being and an unusual desire to escape to the fantastical mysteries hinted at outside their world. This captivating blend of reality and fantasy sets the stage for Nathaniel's journey of self-discovery against the backdrop of social customs and the subversive allure of Fairyland.
