Summary "The White Mice" by Richard Harding Davis is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows young Americans Rodman "Roddy" Forrester and Peter de Peyster as they navigate adventures in Venezuela, where they aim to free General Don Miguel Rojas, a political prisoner, from a grim fate. The book blends themes of friendship, valor, and the complexities of political intrigue against a vibrant backdrop. The opening of the novel sets the stage with a whimsical fable that parallels the protagonists' journey, emphasizing the notion that even the smallest actions can lead to significant changes. We are introduced to Roddy Forrester, whose father has tasked him with inspecting a lighthouse project in Venezuela. Along with his clever friend Peter, Roddy learns of General Rojas, a beloved figure wrongfully imprisoned by the tyrannical President Alvarez. As they brainstorm ways to rescue Rojas, they form the "Order of the White Mice," a lighthearted society dedicated to heroic actions. Their adventure dives deeper into the political turmoil of Venezuela and hints at the dangers that await them as they engage with revolutionaries and the oppressive regime.
