| Summary | "Cormorant Crag: A Tale of the Smuggling Days" by George Manville Fenn is a novel written in the early 19th century." The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of the smuggling trade along the south coast of England, exploring the adventurous lives of two young boys, Vincent Burnet, the doctor's son, and Mike Ladelle, the squire's son, as they navigate friendship and perilous escapades with the old fisherman, Joe Daygo. Their innocent yearning for adventure leads them into the world of smuggling, filled with secrets and danger, hinting at both excitement and the risks of their youthful curiosity. "The opening of the story introduces readers to Vincent Burnet and his father, Doctor Burnet, who engages with his son about his torn clothes, highlighting Vince’s adventurous and carefree nature." Vince is depicted as lively and spirited, with a close friendship with Mike, another fun-loving lad. Shortly after, they encounter Joe Daygo, an enigmatic fisherman, who tells cautionary tales about the sea and the cliffs, warning them of potential danger. Their innocent rebellion leads them to explore caves, where they inadvertently get caught up in a smuggling plot. The narrative sets the stage for their thrilling encounters and the depth of their boys' adventures on the cusp of danger, emphasizing themes of innocence and exploration amidst the treachery of smuggling.
