Originally published in 1906, "Queen of the Rushes" is a novel by Allen Raine that centres around the lives of two orphans, Gwenifer and Gildas, who lose their parents when a boat they are travelling on sinks. Left dumb by the tragic incident, Gwenifer becomes besotted with Gildas, who in turn falls for the granddaughter of one of the tenants of his inherited farm. Raine's eighth novel, "Queen of the Rushes" is generally hailed as her best work. Anne Adalisa Beynon Puddicombe (1836-1908), also known under her pen name Allen Raine, was a Welsh best-selling writer whose novels had sold over two million copies by 1912.
