Summary "The White People" by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a novel likely written during the late 19th century. The story unfolds through the eyes of Ysobel, a young girl heiress residing in the remote and enchanted Muircarrie Castle in Scotland, as she navigates her unique upbringing marked by mystery, isolation, and the presence of spectral friends from the moor. The opening of the book introduces Ysobel's unusual childhood, where she feels different from other children due to her lineage and the wild grandeur of her home. Orphaned at birth and raised by her distant relatives, Jean Braidfute and Angus Macayre, Ysobel's life is steeped in the lore of ancient Scotland. She recalls whimsical, mystical encounters—especially with a delightful girl named Wee Brown Elspeth, believed to be a ethereal being linked to her family's tumultuous history. As the narrative progresses, Ysobel's connection to the supernatural and her musings on life, death, and the mystical elements of the moor suggest a journey of self-discovery intertwined with the haunting beauty of her surroundings.
