Summary "The Young Visiters or, Mr. Salteena's Plan" by Daisy Ashford is a novel written in the early 20th century, specifically in the Edwardian era. This charmingly whimsical story revolves around themes of social class, romance, and the attempts of an awkward middle-aged man, Mr. Salteena, to improve his status and win the heart of a young girl named Ethel. The book showcases a child's perspective on adulthood, capturing the innocence and simplicity of youth. The plot follows Mr. Salteena, an elderly man of 42, who invites the young and spirited Ethel Monticue to stay with him. As their relationship develops amidst social complications, Mr. Salteena endeavors to prove himself a gentleman with the help of his friend, the Earl of Clincham, while Ethel becomes the object of affection for various suitors, including the flustered Bernard Clark. The narrative is characterized by its delightful humor and endearing characters, ultimately leading to Ethel's engagement and marriage to Bernard, while Mr. Salteena finds his own path in life. The book offers a lighthearted depiction of Victorian society’s norms through the lens of youthful imagination, making it an engaging and entertaining read.
