A high and narrow gate of carefully joined boards, standing ajar in
a fence of the same construction! What is there in this to rouse a
whole neighbourhood and collect before it a group of eager,
anxious, hesitating people? I will tell you. This fence is no
ordinary fence, and this gate no ordinary gate; nor is the fact of
the latter standing a trifle open, one to be lightly regarded or
taken an inconsiderate advantage of.
This early work by Anna Katharine Green was originally published in
1905 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introduction.
'The House in the Mist' is one of Green's novels of crime and
mystery. Anna Katharine Green was born in Brooklyn, New York, USA
in 1846. She aspired to be a writer from a young age, and
corresponded with Ralph Waldo Emerson during her late teens. When
her poetry failed to gain recognition, Green produced her first and
best-known novel, The Leavenworth Case (1878). Praised by Wilkie
Collins, the novel was year's bestseller, establishing Green's
reputation. Green wrote at a time when fiction, and especially
crime fiction, was dominated by men. However, she is now credited
with shaping detective fiction into its classic form, and
developing the trope of the recurring detective.
