Summary "Children of the Mist" by Eden Phillpotts is a novel written in the late 19th century that explores themes of love, ambition, and the complexities of familial relationships. The narrative introduces young characters, primarily Phoebe Lyddon and Will Blanchard, as they navigate the challenges of romantic love against the backdrop of their rural Devonshire lives. The story hints at the struggles they face with parental expectations, personal aspirations, and societal norms. The opening of the novel sets the stage with a picturesque description of Dartmoor, where Phoebe observes the natural beauty while expressing her longing for the arrival of Will. Their relationship quickly unfolds as Will confesses his intent to marry her, seeking her father's blessing. However, the conversation turns sour as Phoebe's father, Mr. Lyddon, harshly dismisses Will's ambitions, believing them to be childish folly. Will's subsequent determination to prove himself and make a name in the world sets off a series of events that encompass both his departure and the emotional turmoil it brings to Phoebe, illustrating the profound impact of youthful love and the heartache of separation.
