| Summary | "Crown and Sceptre: A West Country Story" by George Manville Fenn is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set during the English Civil War in the mid-seventeenth century, focusing on the lives of two families, the Markhams and the Forresters, who find themselves on opposing sides of the conflict. The main characters are teenage boys, Scarlett Markham and Fred Forrester, who navigate their friendship amid the turmoil of war, secret passages, and personal loyalties. The opening of the story introduces readers to the idyllic setting of Devon, where the boys embark on adventures in and around their homes, encountering hidden passages and the unfolding realities of civil strife. Tension builds as their families align with the Cavaliers and Roundheads, respectively, leading to underlying conflicts that complicate their friendship. As the dangerous consequences of war loom, the boys' discovery of a secret passage sets the stage for intrigue and conflict, combining elements of friendship, loyalty, and the weight of history as they navigate the challenges posed by their families' allegiances.
