I haven't read Daddy Longlegs in awhile, so this is just a wild guess.

No, I've read that a couple of times, and that's not it. But it's a similar sort of situation in some ways. I seem to remember that the girl THOUGHT she knew who gave her the paintbox, but guessed incorrectly. Not sure about that part.

Bump again. If I had to guess, I'd guess the author was British. I keeping thinking it might be a Mary Stewart novel— but I'm pretty sure it's not.
