520			_a"Miser Farebrother: A Novel (vol. 1 of 3)" by B. L. Farjeon is a fictional work written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the titular character, Miser Farebrother, who comes into possession of a once-grand estate called Parksides, now in crippling decay. The story explores themes of greed, neglect, and the interwoven lives of various characters, including the impoverished old couple who once cared for the estate and the young boy Tom Barley, who becomes entangled in the miser's life. The opening of the novel sets a richly detailed scene, introducing the rundown Parksides and the last caretakers, Mr. and Mrs. Barley, who are living in destitution. As they slowly starve, their daughter, Jane, seeks them out in desperation but finds their situation dire. The narrative weaves in whispers of ghostly stories surrounding the Barleys' demise, hinting at a broader community that has largely forgotten Parksides. Soon after, Miser Farebrother enters the picture, taking advantage of the estate's ambiguous ownership to live there rent-free. It’s a tale that mixes elements of haunting, family drama, and social critique, all of which foreshadow the interactions and conflicts to come as the characters' lives intersect.
