Produced by David Garcia, Martin Pettit and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Little By Little; or, The Cruise of the Flyaway" by William Taylor Adams (Oliver Optic) is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story follows Paul Duncan, a young boy who embarks on nautical adventures while learning crucial life lessons about responsibility and independence. Faced with the sudden death of his father, Paul takes charge of supporting his family, demonstrating resilience and determination as he navigates the challenges of growing up. The opening of the book introduces Paul and his friend Thomas Nettle as they prepare to set sail in a small boat despite warnings about the rough weather. Paul grapples with the pressure of peer influence and his sense of duty to his mother, who has called him back to shore for his safety. The narrative sets up a tension between obedience and the desire for independence, particularly as Paul ultimately decides to venture out against his mother's wishes. This initial chapter establishes the foundational themes of the story: family devotion, the struggle for autonomy, and the dangers of youth exuberance.
