Summary "A Prince of Cornwall" by Charles W. Whistler is a historical novel set in the early medieval period of England, likely during the late 19th century. The story follows the adventures of Oswald, the son of a thane, as he navigates the trials and tribulations of his times, intertwined with the historical backdrop of King Ina of Wessex and the conflicts between the British and Saxons. The tale explores themes of loyalty, identity, and the collision of cultures as Oswald interacts with significant figures, including Owen, a Welshman who saves him from peril. The opening of the narrative introduces Oswald as a young child lost in the foreboding Andredsweald forest, highlighting his sense of isolation and fear. Lost and alone, he encounters a dog which leads him to Owen, a stranger who risks his life to save him from a wolf attack. Their bond is forged in that moment, and it quickly transforms into a deep friendship that shapes Oswald's future. The early chapters paint a vivid picture of their world, blending the natural landscape with the emerging tensions between various factions. As the story progresses, Oswald's growth and development under Owen’s mentorship and the challenges they face together are laid out, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of their destinies amid the turbulent political climate of early England.
