| Summary | "Through Forest and Fire" by Edward Sylvester Ellis is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Nicholas "Nick" Ribsam, a comical and resilient young boy of Dutch descent navigating childhood in a rural setting. Themes of self-reliance, bravery, and family values emerge as the narrative explores Nick’s interactions with his loving parents and encounters with challenges that test his character. The opening of the book introduces Nick Ribsam, portraying him as a cheerful and clumsy child, known for his round face and lively spirit, as his family raises him with strong principles of self-help. As he grows, Nick becomes a bright student at school, facing the trials of childhood, such as bullying from a classmate and the protective instincts toward his younger sister, Nellie. The narrative quickly transitions into a tense moment when Nellie becomes lost in the woods, prompting a frantic search led by Nick and their parents, revealing the themes of family bonds and the dangers lurking in nature. This opening sets the stage for a blend of adventure and personal growth as Nick prepares to confront the realities of life that lie ahead. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
