| 520 | _a"A Reputed Changeling; Or, Three Seventh Years Two Centuries Ago" by C. M. Yonge is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set in the 17th century, it explores themes of supernatural beliefs through the life of a boy named Peregrine Oakshott, who is believed by those around him to be a changeling, or an elf swapped for a human child. The story delves into the social dynamics of the time, particularly the fears and superstitions that plague families like Peregrine’s, as well as the contrasting innocence of childhood friendship and adventure amidst societal expectations. The opening portion of the novel introduces us to two young girls, Anne Jacobina Woodford and Lucy Archfield, who are intrigued by Peregrine's reputation as a changeling. Following a series of mischievous pranks attributed to Peregrine, the narrative reveals the complexities of his character—he's portrayed as both a victim of circumstance and a source of irritation for his peers. As the girls discuss the changeling folklore, they exhibit a mixture of fear and fascination towards Peregrine, setting the stage for the unfolding drama of social alienation and childhood innocence. The interactions among the children present a vivid picture of their world, layered with the tensions of belief in the supernatural and the harsh realities of their lives.
