Summary "Leslie Ross: or, Fond of a Lark" by Charles Bruce is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The book tells the story of Leslie Ross, a spirited and mischievous boy whose penchant for adventure leads him to trouble. Following a series of incidents that stem from his love for what he calls "a lark," Leslie's parents decide to send him to school in hopes of tempering his impulsiveness while still allowing him to grow and enjoy his youthful innocence. The opening of the novel introduces Leslie as the cherished son of caring parents who strive to create a joyful childhood for him, particularly by the seaside. However, his mischief begins to accumulate, leading to significant situations where he finds himself in peril. The narrative unfolds as Leslie's carefree antics eventually culminate in a near-drowning experience, prompting his father to enroll him in school for his own sake and protection. Through these early chapters, readers witness not only Leslie's charming personality but also the nurturing yet concerned approach of Mr. and Mrs. Ross as they grapple with their son's spirited nature.
