| Summary | "The Curse of Carne's Hold: A Tale of Adventure" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the Carne family and an ominous curse that is believed to hang over their ancestral home, Carne’s Hold. The narrative promises to explore themes of mystery, family legacy, and the implications of past deeds on present lives, centering on characters like Reginald and Margaret Carne, as well as outsiders like Lieutenant Gulston. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Carne's Hold, a picturesque residence with a dark history that locals believe to be cursed due to events involving the family’s Spanish ancestor, Lady Carne. The opening chapter sets the stage for the exploration of this curse through conversations between various characters, including a sailor named Mr. Gulston, who is on a fishing trip near the estate, and the villagers discussing the troubling legacy of the Carnes. As tensions arise between family members, particularly between Margaret and her cousin Ronald, hints of underlying madness tied to the curse become evident, foreshadowing conflict and drama as the story unfolds.
