Legend of Moulin Huet

Lizzie A. Freeth was an author from Guernsey. Her works include: The Adventures of Carl Skinflint Among the Fairies (?) and Legend of Moulin Huet (1872). She also edited Three Months of My Life: A Diary of the Late J. F. Foster (1873). “In the year 165-, when Cromwell had gained ascendancy in England and over the greater portion of the Channel Islands, there lived in Guernsey, at the Bay of Moulin Huêt, a miller of the name of Pierre Moullin. Unlike his class generally, he was a very morose man, hard in his dealings with the poor around him, and exceedingly unsympathizing in all his domestic relations, as will appear as our story unwinds itself. Before speaking of the family surroundings of Pierre Moullin we will glance at the circumstance which forms the basis of the present tale. ”
