| Summary | "A Yacht Voyage Round England" by W.H.G. Kingston is a travel narrative written in the mid-19th century. The story follows two brothers, Harry and Oliver, who embark on a summer sailing trip around England with their father, a retired Royal Navy captain. Their adventure is presented through the lens of their journals, detailing not only their journey but also the various places they explore and the historical context they encounter along the way. At the start of the book, the boys return home early from boarding school due to an outbreak of illness. Their father proposes a summer cruise around England that excites them greatly, leading to discussions about their preparations and expectations for the trip. As they set sail from Southampton, the narrative captures their enthusiasm and the beautiful sights encountered, such as ancient castles and naval landmarks. The opening chapters set the stage for a blend of personal adventure and historical education, as the family explores the diverse cultural and natural landscapes of England.
