| Summary | "The Sealed Message" by Fergus Hume is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a quaint English village, featuring characters Gerald Haskins and Tod Macandrew, who stumble upon a mysterious cylinder while fishing, leading them into an enchanting adventure filled with romance and intrigue. The cylinder contains a phonograph record with a melodious message from an alleged princess, prompting Haskins to explore the enigmatic tales surrounding her and the peculiar household she resides in. At the start of the narrative, two friends, Haskins and Macandrew, are enjoying a summer day by the river when Macandrew accidentally hooks a mysterious tin cylinder that had sunk in the water. Upon opening it, they discover a phonograph record that reveals a heartfelt message from a girl named Mavis Durham, who claims to be trapped and desires her fairy prince to rescue her. As Haskins contemplates the implications of this discovery, he learns of Mavis's unusual seclusion in a house known as the Pixy's House, guarded by her caretaker, Bellaria. Intrigued and enchanted, Haskins vows to find Mavis, setting in motion a series of events that delve into the complexities of love, identity, and the lurking shadows of the past that affect them both.
