• This edition includes the following editor's introduction: The importance of Robert W. Chambers for fantasy literature

Originally published in 1914, “The Hidden Children” is a classic novel by the American artist and writer Robert W. Chambers, most well-known for his collection of weird fiction short stories “The King in Yellow.”

Gender roles in the American Revolutionary War period were not exactly a bastion of progressiveness. However, even during a time when most women were encouraged to shrink from conflict and follow the lead of any man in the vicinity, there were a few iconoclastic females who broke this mould. The defiantly independent heroine at the centre of “The Hidden Children” steadfastly refuses to be held down by social conventions she sees as useless.
