| Summary | "Roger Willoughby: A Story of the Times of Benbow" by William Henry Giles Kingston is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows young Roger Willoughby as he navigates adventures amidst the political and social upheaval of his time, encountering various maritime challenges and personal aspirations of becoming a sailor. The narrative introduces characters like Stephen Battiscombe, Roger's friend, and the experienced Captain Benbow, who play significant roles in shaping Roger's journey and dreams. The opening of the book establishes the setting along the Dorsetshire coast, where Roger and his companion Stephen engage in light-hearted conversation about a ship they observe at sea. Roger expresses his longing for adventure and exploration beyond his sheltered life, particularly yearning to sail with the approaching vessel. As the boys plan to investigate the ship, they receive permission from their families, setting the stage for Roger's eventual departure to sea. This introduction effectively sets a tone of youthful curiosity and foreshadows the rich adventures ahead, intertwined with the political tensions of the era.
