Summary: "The Adventures of Dick Trevanion: A Story of Eighteen Hundred and Four" by Herbert Strang is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the titular character, Dick Trevanion, a young boy involved in everyday life and adventures in the quaint Cornish village of Polkerran. The book explores themes of familial struggle, local lore, and the challenges of youth intertwined with the anticipation of adventure. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the coastal village of Polkerran, where Dick and his friend Sam Pollex are out fishing one evening. They are depicted as energetic youths targeting salmon bass, but their fishing endeavors prove unsuccessful. As night falls, they notice a mysterious three-masted vessel off the coast, stirring their curiosity and concern, especially given the local fear of a possible French invasion during the ongoing Napoleonic Wars. The introduction of John Trevanion, Dick's estranged cousin, adds tension to family dynamics and hints at deeper conflicts to unfold—laying the groundwork for an unfolding tale rich with adventure, intrigue, and the complexities of heritage.
