Silas Marner–George Eliot

"The Weaver of Raveloe."

Silas Marner, a reclusive and miserly weaver, loses his gold but finds something far more precious: a golden-haired orphan girl named Eppie who wanders into his cottage.

George Eliot wrote a fable about the redeeming power of love and community. It is a heartwarming, beautifully crafted moral story.
