Summary "In the Days of Drake" by J. S. Fletcher is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the Elizabethan era during the age of exploration and maritime heroism, centering around the adventures of a young man named Humphrey Salkeld. As the narrative begins, the old Humphrey Salkeld reflects on his youth and the remarkable adventure he experienced during the late 1570s, highlighting themes of valor, rivalry, and the spirit of the time. The opening portion introduces us to the protagonist, Humphrey, who has settled down in his later years but feels compelled to recount his past exploits, particularly the period of his adolescence spent at Beechcot under the guardianship of his Uncle Sir Thurstan. From the outset, we learn of the complexities of Humphrey's relationships, particularly with his cousin Jasper Stapleton, fueled by rivalry regarding inheritance and their mutual affection for Rose Herrick. The conflict intensifies as they both vie for Rose's attention amidst tensions between their respective households, setting the stage for adventures filled with intrigue and the backdrop of the perilous Elizabethan world filled with opportunity and danger.
