Summary: "Myra's Well: A Tale of All-Hallow-E'en" by George Francis Dawson is a narrative tale centered around Halloween, likely penned in the late 19th century. This book blends elements of folklore and romance with an emphasis on themes such as love, destiny, and ancestral curses. Set against the backdrop of Halloween—a night associated with spirits and supernatural occurrences—the story explores the lives of characters entangled in love and past misdeeds, delivered through a combination of dialogue and poetic language. The plot revolves around the young Sir Bertram Morven, who is captivated by Ada, a beautiful maiden. On an eerie All-Hallow-E'en night, as the characters engage in traditional customs related to the occasion, tragic pasts and ancestral curses surface. Sir Bertram grapples with his family's dark history, particularly a prophecy related to a witch named Elpsie. Ada, driven by curiosity and fear, approaches Myra's Well to seek revelations about her future, leading to a fateful encounter with Bertram. Their love story unfolds amidst challenges, culminating in a powerful declaration of commitment despite the lurking curse. The narrative culminates in themes of redemption and the intertwining of love across generations, as it concludes with a hopeful union that brings closure to the haunting legacy.
