"Wych Hazel" by Susan Warner and Anna Bartlett Warner is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work explores themes of youthful adventure and self-discovery through its protagonist, Wych Hazel, who is in search of her fortune. The narrative is centered around Wych Hazel, her guardian Mr. Falkirk, and their interactions with various characters, particularly a young man named Rollo who shares a complex dynamic with Hazel. The opening of the novel establishes Mr. Falkirk as a reserved guardian who has cared for Wych Hazel since she was orphaned. As they discuss her desire to seek her fortune, Wych Hazel expresses a whimsical aspiration for adventure, reminiscent of fairy tales. Their conversation is infused with gentle humor and underlying themes of independence, with Wych Hazel determined to assert her own path.
