Margaret Oliphant's novel 'The House on the Moor' was first published in 1861. Susan and her brother Horace live a lonely life on Lanmoth Moor in Cumbria. Their mother died long ago, and their father is a bitter, controlling recluse who shows them little love. Susan has a sweet nature, but Horace bears bitterness and hatred towards everyone. Their father is bitter about a will, but why? When Susan meets Roger Musgrave they become attracted to each other. Support and help is offered by Susan and Horace's Scottish uncle, Colonel Sutherland. But Horace leaves home to work for a dishonest attorney, and later experiments with blackmail, and even perhaps with murder. Margaret Oliphant was a Scottish novelist and historical writer, who usually wrote as Mrs. Oliphant. During her career she wrote more than 120 works, including novels travelogues, histories and volumes of literary criticism. Two of her better-known fictional works are Miss Marjoribanks (1866) and Phoebe Junior (1876). Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, with a new introductory biography.
