The White People is a collection of supernatural and mystical tales written by Frances Hodgson Burnett, the author of the beloved children's classic The Secret Garden. The book consists of a series of interconnected stories that explore the hidden world of magic and folklore. The stories are narrated by a young girl who is being introduced to these mysterious and often unsettling tales by her governess. The tales delve into the dark corners of the human psyche, exploring themes of innocence, corruption, and the power of the unknown. Burnett's writing is vivid and atmospheric, creating a haunting and eerie atmosphere that will leave readers both fascinated and disturbed. This book is a must-read for fans of Gothic horror and dark fantasy, and for anyone who enjoys stories that explore the intricate connections between the seen and unseen worlds.1917. Burnett, began as a novelist, but she is now best remembered for her children's books including The Secret Garden and Sara Crewe (which was later rewritten to become The Little Princess). Her romance novels were also quite popular during her lifetime. The book begins: Perhaps the things which happened could only have happened to me. I do not know. I never heard of things like them happening to any one else. But I am not sorry they did happen. I am in secret deeply and strangely glad. I have heard other people say things-and they were not always sad people, either-which made me feel that if they knew what I know it would seem to them as though some awesome, heavy load they had always dragged about with them fallen from their shoulders. To most people everything is so uncertain that if they could only see or hear and know something clear they would drop upon their knees and give thanks.
