Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Fairy Latchkey" by Magdalene Horsfall is a children’s novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the protagonist, Philomène Isolde, an imaginative young girl who yearns for adventure and magic in her otherwise ordinary life. Throughout the opening chapters, readers are introduced to her family, friends, and the fantasy elements that are woven into her daily experiences. At the start of the novel, we meet Philomène, who feels rather mundane in her suburban life as she longs for the extraordinary. Her relationship with her father and her godmother, Isolde, plays a significant role in her development. As she navigates her daily life filled with fairy tales and folklore, she finds companionship in her pets and a burgeoning connection to the fairy world. Notably, she comes into contact with Sweet William, a fairy who reveals the enchanting realm she might access through her newfound latchkey. This beginning sets the stage for her exploration into a whimsical world, where stories and imagination intertwine with her everyday life.
