| Summary | "The Adventures of Akbar" by Flora Annie Steel is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the early life of Prince Akbar, who would grow to become one of history's most notable kings. The narrative begins with his childhood, highlighting his royal lineage, familial struggles, and adventures amidst the dangers posed by enemies and the harsh environment. The opening of the narrative introduces readers to a critical moment: the young Prince Akbar, just thirteen months old, prepares to embark on a perilous journey with his parents, King Humâyon and Queen Humeeda, while fleeing from his uncle's forces in Afghanistan. This chapter captures the anxiety and tension as the royal family tentatively navigates their tumultuous situation. Akbar's first milestone, cutting a back tooth, is celebrated amidst the chaos, showcasing the juxtaposition of childhood innocence against the backdrop of danger. We also meet various characters, including the steadfast Head-nurse and children who play significant roles in Akbar's life, and hints at the adventures and challenges to come as the story unfolds. Throughout the beginning, a sense of impending adventure and historical significance permeates, inviting readers to delve into the legendary tales of Prince Akbar's early years.
