Mistress Masham's Repose by T. H. White
A Delightful Fantasy for Young and Old
The story follows a young orphaned girl named Maria who lives in a dilapidated English estate under the oppressive guardianship of her cruel governess and a greedy vicar. One day, Maria discovers a hidden colony of tiny people, descendants of the Lilliputians from "Gulliver's Travels," living on an island in the estate's lake. As Maria befriends the Lilliputians, she becomes determined to protect them from exploitation by her guardians. Through her adventures, Maria learns about courage, friendship, and the importance of standing up for what is right.
