"The Lost Prince" by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Marco Loristan, a twelve-year-old boy who has lived a life of secrecy and travel alongside his father, Loristan, a patriot from a small, war-torn country called Samavia. As they settle in a gloomy part of London, Marco grapples with his identity and the yearning for his homeland while learning about the legend of the Lost Prince, Prince Ivor, who mysteriously vanished under dire circumstances five hundred years earlier. The opening of “The Lost Prince” introduces readers to Marco's world, marked by his sense of isolation and his father's mysterious purpose. Recently relocated to London, Marco reflects on their life as exiles, bound by secrecy and patriotism. He shares a close bond with his father and their old soldier servant, Lazarus, who have instilled in him a sense of duty towards his homeland. As Marco navigates the bleak streets, he encounters The Rat, a hunchbacked boy who leads a group of street urchins with an interest in Samavia's struggles. Together, they explore the history of Prince Ivor, igniting dreams of a greater destiny tied to the vanished prince and Marco’s belief in a future where they might reclaim their rightful place. This strong theme of longing for home and identity sets the stage for an adventure that intertwines friendship, loyalty, and the quest for justice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
