Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Young Enchanted: A Romantic Story" by Hugh Walpole is a novel written in the early 20th century. It explores themes of youth, romance, and the enchantment of life through the experiences of the protagonist, Henry Trenchard, as he navigates his emotional and social journey in London. The narrative is filled with rich character dynamics and city life, particularly focusing on Henry's encounters and budding romance with Millie as they both seek independence. At the start of the story, Henry finds himself in a busy Piccadilly Circus on a spring afternoon in 1920, experiencing a mix of anxiety and enchantment as he awaits the right moment to cross the street. As he daydreams of grand adventures, his short-sightedness causes him to stumble through the bustling crowd, losing his hat and feeling a deep sense of loneliness. However, his fate appears to change when he catches sight of a girl adorned with a striking feather in her hat, followed by a stout woman. Intrigued and compelled by a sudden surge of romantic spirit, he follows them into the vibrant chaos of London's streets, setting the stage for an unexpected adventure that intertwines their fates. The beginning establishes Henry's character as sensitive and idealistic, yearning for connection in a world that feels unwelcoming.
