Þessi saga á sér stað á Viktoríutímabilinu í ensku samfélagi. Ung Verenika giftist Roy, Lávarðinum af Clynord. Hann á ekki stóra fjölskyldu en á tvö stjúpsystkini sem öfundast út í hina ungu og saklausu Vereniku og reyna að koma henni fyrir kattarnef. Skáldsagan er eitt vinsælasta verk Harriet Lewis og kom fyrst út á ensku árið 1872. Bókin naut mikilla vinsælda á Íslandi áður fyrr sem hluti af Sögusafni heimilanna.Persónurnar og notkun á tungumáli í verkinu endurspegla ekki skoðanir útgefandans. Verkið er gefið út sem sögulegt skjal sem inniheldur lýsingar á tíðaranda og skynjun manna sem tíðkaðist á tímum skrifanna.Serían samanstendur af eldri sögum sem eiga það sameiginlegt að hafa verið eftirsóttar til lengri tíma í flokki rómantískra bókmennta. Bækurnar henta einstaklega vel þegar þú vilt gleyma þér í rómantík og ævintýrum gamla tímans.
