The Treasure of the Isle of Mist by W. W. Tarn
"The Treasure of the Isle of Mist" by W. W. Tarn is a fantasy novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Fiona, a curious and vibrant fifteen-year-old girl, and her father, the Student, who is a learned man with a penchant for philosophical musings. As they navigate their tranquil life on the Isle of Mist, Fiona is gifted a search for a hidden treasure by an enigmatic old
hawker, setting off a series of mystical and adventurous events that intertwine reality with the realms of fantasy. At the start of this tale, readers are introduced to Fiona and her father living in a charming gray house by the sea. The narrative quickly reveals their quirky interactions, particularly through humorous dialogues and their relationships with an old hawker who brings a sense of magic into their lives. The old man's gifts lead Fiona on a quest that intertwines her fate with the mysterious "Urchin," a boy who becomes an important ally in her treasure hunt.
