Produced by Al Haines "If Youth but Knew!" by Agnes Castle and Egerton Castle is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of early 19th-century Europe, it explores themes of youth, adventure, and the contrast between nobility and the wandering life of a vagabond. The story revolves around the experiences of Steven Lee, Count Waldorff-Kielmansegg, as he embarks on a journey filled with unexpected encounters and life lessons, particularly focusing on his interactions with Geiger-Hans, a charming musician embodying a free spirit. At the start of the narrative, the young traveller, Count Steven Lee, finds himself stranded on a road near a forest after an unfortunate mishap with his carriage. In his frustration, he meets Geiger-Hans, a vagabond musician whose carefree song contrasts sharply with Steven's troubled demeanor. Their banter reveals Steven's prideful nature and reluctance to engage with the simple pleasures of life, while Geiger-Hans encourages him to embrace the beauty and possibilities of youth. As they journey together, Steven grapples with class distinctions and the allure of adventure, foreshadowing notable events in their shared travels and introducing the thematic explorations of friendship, identity, and the search for personal fulfillment.
