The Legend of the Lost Girl
A legend and set of records among the Sisters of the Ivory Tower about a girl who keeps reappearing every 10-30 years since sometime in the mid 1500s. The legend began in the Thames tower. In each appearance, the description the girl is the same - a honey haired girl of about 17 years who remembers nothing of her past. She always disappears within 10 years of her appearance, just as mysteriously as she appeared.
