| 520 | _a"Colin" by E. F. Benson is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with the Staniers, a family steeped in superstition and bound by a sinister legend that dates back to the time of Queen Elizabeth I. The tale centers around Colin Stanier, the youthful and charming shepherd who finds himself involved in a fateful encounter with the Queen that leads to his extraordinary rise within the aristocracy while grappling with the consequences of a dangerous deal made with the devil. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the Staniers and their ancestral legend, which involves a young Colin saving Queen Elizabeth from a fall, thereby capturing her favor. A supernatural twist occurs when Colin allegedly makes a pact with Satan, ushering in prosperity for his family at a dire cost. As Colin ascends to prominence, the narrative explores themes of power, ambition, vanity, and the eventual moral and spiritual decay that follows. Through Colin's arc and the subsequent generational dynamics of the Stanier family, the story hints at the unraveling of this once-great lineage, revealing foundational vulnerabilities underneath the gilded facade.
