Summary "The Royal Banner; or Gold and Rubies" by M. H. is a story for young readers written in the late 19th century. This narrative unfolds in the picturesque Highlands of Scotland and follows the lives of three orphaned siblings—Ronald, Nora, and Eric—as they navigate their childhood while facing challenges related to family loss, personal development, and moral values. The book seems to encapsulate themes of courage, faith, and the pursuit of virtue, particularly as they relate to Ronald’s aspiration to uphold a guiding moral standard amid the trials of youth. At the start of the story, the reader is introduced to twelve-year-old Nora, who admires her late mother's diadem of gold and rubies while pondering what it means to find something "better than gold." The narrative quickly establishes the siblings' close bond and their life under the care of their aunt and uncle. Ronald, the eldest, grapples with the responsibilities of caring for Nora and Eric, and as he thinks of joining a noble crusade, he encounters a mysterious figure who calls him to a higher purpose. Through magical elements like the Wishing-Well and meaningful conversations about character and virtue, the opening sets the stage for a heartfelt exploration of personal growth and the significance of living a life filled with intention and love.
