| Summary | "The Boys and I: A Child's Story for Children" by Mrs. Molesworth is a children's fiction work likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the life of young Audrey and her two brothers, Tom and Racey, as they navigate their childhood experiences filled with challenges, emotions, and the complexities of family life. The narrative captures the innocence of childhood while facing the realities of separation from their parents. At the start of the story, we meet nine-year-old Audrey, who is reflecting on a period of significant change in her life, marked by her father’s upcoming departure to China. The narrative introduces her concern for her younger brothers, Tom and Racey, as they deal with their first sorrow—being left behind while their father travels. The children are coping with their mother’s emotional turmoil as she prepares for the separation, leading to a mix of playful childhood experiences and profound moments of apprehension. The opening sets a poignant tone, establishing the siblings' bond and hinting at the challenges they will face in their new life with their uncle in London, amidst sentiments of loss and the yearning for stability.
