| Summary |
"The Valley of Arcana" by Arthur Preston Hankins is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with two men, Dr. Inman Shonto and Andy Jerome, who find themselves lost in the dense forests of Northern California while hunting. They encounter a mysterious cabin where they meet Charmian Reemy, a striking young woman celebrating her birthday, who invites them in for supper. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the compelling dynamics between the characters. Dr. Shonto, a renowned gland specialist, is intrigued by Charmian's vivacious personality and radical ideals. Their conversation hints at a deeper exploration of personal and societal themes, particularly as they discuss the undiscovered Valley of Arcana—a place ripe with adventure and mystery. With plans for a journey to find this valley and the opal claims that accompany it, the tension and romantic elements between the characters begin to unfold, setting the stage for their subsequent adventure.
