Summary "Jack at Sea: All Work and No Play Made Him a Dull Boy" by George Manville Fenn is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story focuses on a young boy named Jack Meadows, who is bright academically but lacks the vigor and health associated with outdoor activities. Concerned for Jack's health, his father, Sir John, decides to take him on a sailing adventure around the world, believing that this will help him overcome his sedentary lifestyle and push him into a more active and robust existence. The opening of the novel introduces the relationship between Jack and his father, showcasing Sir John's frustration with Jack's constant indoor studying and pale appearance. Sir John enlists the help of their family doctor, who ultimately prescribes a sea voyage as the remedy for Jack's ailments. As preparations for the voyage commence, Jack exhibits reluctance and anxiety about leaving his familiar life of books. The discussions reveal the strong bond between the characters, with the father determined to improve his son's health, while Jack grapples with the fear of change and the unknown challenges that lie ahead.
