Trilby

Trilby by Charles Nodier

An homage to the romances of Walter Scott, “Trilby” is the tale of an elf who haunts the dreams of Jeannie, the wife of a Scottish fisherman. When Jeannie’s husband has Trilby exorcised, disaster strikes the family, and in Jeannie’s dreams Trilby takes the form of John Mac-Farlane, a banished clan-chief.
