| 520 | _a"The Oak Staircase: A Narrative of the Times of James II" by M. and C. Lee is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set during the times of James II, the narrative intertwines two distinct anecdotes: the well-recognized story of the 'Maids of Taunton' and the romance between Lord Sunderland's daughter and the Earl of Clancarty. The primary characters include Frances Dalrymple, the daughter of Sir Bernard Dalrymple, and Lord Desmond, with their lives shaped by the tumultuous political landscape of their time. At the start of the story, lessons are ending in the bustling schoolroom at Horsemandown, where Frances and her siblings display their youthful exuberance and disdain for their studies. Frances is particularly drawn to the portraits on the grand oak staircase in their home, piquing her curiosity about her ancestors. As the children engage in lively banter and imaginative play, they are joined by their Uncle Algernon, who teases that a special historical story is to be revealed. This hints at the blending of the past with their present lives, setting the stage for Frances' tale as she prepares to navigate both family expectations and her own desires against the backdrop of historical events.
