First in the Field: A Story of New South Wales Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "First in the Field: A Story of New South Wales" by George Manville Fenn is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. The story centers around Nic Braydon, a young boy who travels from England to Australia to join his father, a sheep and cattle station owner. Set against the backdrop of early colonial life, the narrative explores themes of bravery, personal growth, and the realities of life on the frontier, while also delving into Nic's interactions with convicts and settlers. The opening of the novel introduces us to Nic Braydon, who, after spending years in a boarding school in England, is excitedly brought to Australia aboard the Northumbrian. Upon arrival, he meets Lady O'Hara, who is friendly and supportive, and along with her guidance, Nic grapples with his concerns about convicts and the harsh realities of life in a new land. The initial chapters reveal personal conflicts at school, hinting at the challenges Nic will face due to his father's convict history and the society's perception in Australia. The narrative establishes a foundation for Nic's journey into adulthood, as he prepares to navigate a complex world shaped by freedom, opportunity, and the remnants of penal pasts.
