"The Copper Box" by J. S. Fletcher is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in a wild Border country in northern England, and introduces the protagonist, Alvery Craye, who becomes entangled in a mysterious adventure after getting lost in a snowstorm and seeking refuge in an unusual old house called Kelpieshaw. There, he meets the enchanting Madrasia Durham and her guardian, Mr. Parslewe, but soon finds himself caught up in a web of intrigue surrounding a peculiar copper box that holds more significance than it appears. The opening of the book sets the stage for a classic mystery. Alvery Craye embarks on a challenging trek through harsh weather conditions, ultimately leading him to the doors of Kelpieshaw, an ancient and peculiar dwelling. There, he encounters a stern housekeeper and a radiant young woman, Madrasia, who invites him to stay. As Alvery warms up in the cozy parlour, he learns about the curious dynamics between the characters—particularly the eccentric guardian and the mysterious box, which seems to draw attention from various visitors, including the ominous Mr. Pawley and a figure he later discovers to be Sir Charles Sperrigoe. The narrative captures the tension and foreboding surrounding the box, promising readers an engaging journey into a world of secrets and suspense.
