There is a mountain called Seat-Sandal, between the Dunmail Raise and Grisedale Pass; and those who have stood upon its summit know that Grasmere vale and lake lie at their feet, and that Windermere, Esthwaite, and Coniston, with many arms of the sea, and a grand brotherhood of mountains, are all around them. There is also an old gray manor-house of the same name. It is some miles distant from the foot of the mountain, snugly sheltered in one of the loveliest valleys between Coniston and Torver. No one knows when the first stones of this house were laid. The Sandals were in Sandal-Side when the white-handed, waxen-faced Edward was building Westminster Abbey, and William the Norman was laying plans for the crown of England.

Autorenporträt
Amelia Edith Huddleston Barr was a British novelist and teacher, born on March 29, 1831, in Ulverston, United Kingdom. She is known for her novels, many of which are set in Scotland and England, drawing heavily from her childhood experiences and the landscapes that shaped her early life. Barr's writing career began after her move to the United States, where she eventually settled. Throughout her life, she balanced her passion for writing with her role as a teacher, influencing both her literary works and her interactions with students. Barr's novels are often characterized by their vivid descriptions of rural life, complex characters, and strong emotional undercurrents. Her works are a reflection of her keen observations of the world around her, particularly concerning relationships, moral dilemmas, and the changing social and political landscapes of the time. She passed away on March 10, 1919, in Richmond Hill, New York, at the age of 87. Her daughter, Mary Barr Munroe, survived her. Barr's works, though not as widely known today, played an important role in the literary scene of her time, and her stories remain a valuable window into 19th-century life.
