Summary "Poison Island" by Arthur Quiller-Couch is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the life of Harry Brooks, a young boy who navigates his coming-of-age against the backdrop of adventures filled with characters like Captain Coffin, a mysterious sea captain. With a blend of intrigue, personal hardship, and the allure of hidden treasure, the narrative sets the stage for Harry's journey into a world far beyond his sheltered upbringing. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Harry, who is about to begin a new chapter of his life at Copenhagen Academy in Falmouth. The setting is established with rich descriptions of his family history, particularly focusing on his father’s military past and his complicated relationships. Harry first encounters Captain Coffin in a drunken state, revealing the captain's precarious position in society. As Harry adjusts to his new environment and the eccentricities around him, he finds himself entangled in the old captain's troubling legacy and the promise of adventure that awaits on the mysterious Mortallone Island. This opening portion lays the groundwork for a richly woven tale of camaraderie, danger, and the search for treasure, as Harry uncovers the secrets of his unusual companions.
