Title Dick Rodney; or, The Adventures of an Eton Boy
Credits Al Haines
Summary "Dick Rodney; or, The Adventures of an Eton Boy" by James Grant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows young Dick Rodney, an Eton schoolboy, as he navigates through a series of exhilarating adventures that begin with his longing for greater accomplishments beyond the confines of school life. Readers can expect a mix of humor and suspense as Rodney embarks on a journey filled with perils, especially after being unexpectedly cast adrift from home, propelling him into a world of maritime escapades. At the start of the book, Dick Rodney reflects on his time at Eton, where he mused about his future while engaging in various sports and pastimes rather than focusing on studies that could lead to a career. He finds himself back at home, yearning for adventure and change, when circumstances lead him to experience danger and uncertainty at sea after being swept away with a schooner. The opening chapters establish his character, introduce the setting of Erlesmere, and hint at the thrilling escapades that await him beyond the tranquil life he once took for granted.
