| Summary | "Tom Finch's Monkey" by John C. Hutcheson is a collection of five short stories written in the late Victorian era. The tales weave together a mix of humor and adventure, with the titular character, Lieutenant Tom Finch, and his clever pet monkey, Jocko, taking center stage in the first story. The book promises a light-hearted narrative that explores naval life, practical jokes, and encounters with colorful characters. The opening of the book introduces us to Tom Finch aboard the HMS Porpoise, a paddle-wheel steamer, as he prepares for a voyage to South American waters. Alongside him is his cherished monkey, Jocko, who is comically outfitted in a sailor's suit and becomes an amusing presence on board. As the narrative unfolds, Finch's easy-going nature and penchant for practical jokes come into play, particularly when Tom finds himself in a humorous predicament involving an admiral and the unexpected antics of his beloved monkey at dinner. The beginning lays the groundwork for whimsical adventures, highlighting Finch's camaraderie with his crew and setting the stage for mischief on the high seas.
