Summary "The Ocean Cat's Paw: The Story of a Strange Cruise" by George Manville Fenn is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds amidst the backdrop of the post-Napoleonic War era and follows the adventures of a young boy named Rodney Harding, who lives with his uncle, a naturalist. As Rodney goes fishing in Dartmoor, his initial encounter leads him to assist a French prisoner who has escaped, setting off a chain of events that promises escapades involving shipwrecks, diplomacy, and a brush with the authorities. The opening portion introduces readers to Rodney Harding as he joyfully fishes in a Dartmoor stream, where he encounters a frail French boy who has fled from imprisonment. Rodney's decision to help the stranger not only exposes the vulnerabilities of both characters but also ignites a journey that intertwines their fates. As his uncle prepares for a natural history expedition, the story hints at upcoming trials that result from Rodney's act of kindness, including military confrontations and the moral dilemmas surrounding loyalty and justice during turbulent times. The mix of adventure and moral contemplation invites readers into a world where bravery and ethical choices shape destinies. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
