A strange figure stood in front of him, dressed from head to foot in
white clothing. The moonlight showed her pale, youthful face. When
Walter Hartright meets the woman in white, it is the start of an
exciting and dangerous adventure. Who is she, and what does she want? At
first Walter is happy at Limmeridge House, teaching painting and drawing
to Laura Fairlie and Marian Halcombe, but a wicked plot soon threatens
to destroy the woman he loves. Will their courage and determination be
enough to defeat the powerful forces ranged against them? Is the
mysterious woman in white their friend, or their enemy?
