The House In The Woods is a novel written by Arthur Henry and published in 1905. The story follows the lives of two families, the Laxleys and the Osbornes, who live in neighboring houses in the woods. The Laxleys are a wealthy family who are proud of their status and reputation, while the Osbornes are a struggling family who are trying to make ends meet. The main character of the story is Mary Laxley, the daughter of the wealthy Laxley family. Mary is a kind and compassionate person who is concerned about the well-being of the Osbornes. She befriends the youngest Osborne, a boy named Dick, and helps his family in any way she can. As the story progresses, the two families become embroiled in a bitter feud over a piece of land that both families claim ownership of. The feud intensifies and threatens to destroy both families. Mary is torn between her loyalty to her own family and her desire to help the Osbornes. The novel explores themes of class, wealth, and social status, as well as the importance of compassion and empathy. It also highlights the destructive nature of greed and the consequences of holding onto grudges. Overall, The House In The Woods is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that delves into the complexities of human relationships and the impact of societal norms on individuals and families.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
