E-text prepared by Lionel Sear "Paul the Courageous" by Mabel Quiller-Couch is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Paul Anketell, who grapples with feelings of disappointment and adventures in a sleepy town as he navigates family challenges, particularly a financial setback that threatens the holiday plans he envisioned with his siblings, Stella and Michael. At the start of the novel, the Anketell family faces a disappointment when they learn they cannot go on a long-anticipated trip to Norway due to their father's financial troubles. Paul, filled with a longing for adventure and excitement, struggles with this news and initially reacts with childish frustration.
