About the Publisher
Where sunless rivers weep
Their waves into the deep,
She sleeps a charmed sleep:
Awake her not.
Led by a single star,
She came from very far
To seek where shadows are
Her pleasant lot.
— Christina Rossetti, ‘Dream Land’
Prologue
Nobody really noticed when Alice Blackwell disappeared. The ‘witch-girl’, as the village folk came to know her, lived alone in a hut nestled amidst tall ferns and ancient oaks in the mountains that surrounded Alder Vale. No one knew where the hut was exactly, or whether Alice lived in a hut at all, but they felt sure that she was the kind of girl who would live in one, and so the presumption had become a widely circulated fact. She was strange, you see. Only a strange person would choose to live a quiet existence away from the chatter and bustle of the town. At least, that’s what they whispered to one another.
