When superstition plagues a small village, the workers go on a
strike, leaving time for reflection. What started as a normal day
in the dreary mining town of Trennach quickly spirals into disarray
after the sound of the Seven Whistlers is heard, warning of
impending doom. The Seven Whistlers are harbingers of death, said
to be the spirits of fishermen and miners killed by accidents
related to their trade. According to the legend, an unmistakable
bird’s cry can be heard right before a tragedy or death, alerting
those nearby. After a miner in Trennach is pierced by this sound,
he warns his fellow workers, who band together and refuse to go in
the mines to work. However, not everyone in the small town is so
inclined to believe in legends, or the word of just one man. Set in
the 19th century, Edina: A Novel by Mrs. Henry Wood is a dramatic
sensation novel first published nearly one-hundred and fifty years
ago in 1876. With vivid description of the setting and intimate
portraits of the town’s occupants, including a sickly bookstore
owner, a talented doctor, superstitious miners, and more, Edina: A
Novel provides modern audiences with an intricate perspective of
the Victorian working class and their motivations. With timeless
themes of morality, class, and the supernatural, Edina: A Novel is
both compelling and insightful. This edition of Edina: A Novel by
Mrs. Henry Wood now features a striking new cover design and is
printed in a font that is both modern and readable. With these
accommodations, this edition of Edina: A Novel crafts an accessible
and pleasant reading experience for modern audiences while
restoring the original sentiment and drama of Mrs. Henry Wood’s
work.
