Summary "The Old Man of the Mountain" by Herbert Strang is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a group of young English tea-planters in Assam, India, who find themselves entangled in a mysterious and dangerous adventure after they encounter an injured man from the jungle who speaks of his captured companion. As they delve deeper into the wilderness, they face not only the challenges of nature but also the apprehensions surrounding supernatural elements suggested by local folklore. The opening of the book sets the stage for an intriguing expedition as three friends—Bob Jackson, Alan Mackenzie, and Dick Forrester—enjoy a meal near a stream in Assam, reminiscing about their time together as tea-planters. Their conversation is interrupted by the arrival of a fevered and delirious man who speaks of an imminent danger to his companion, Beresford, beckoning the planters to help him. This chance encounter sparks their courage and determination to venture into the unknown, prompting them to form a rescue plan. Through vivid descriptions and engaging dialogue, the story introduces a sense of urgency and mystery as the protagonists prepare to navigate treacherous terrain and unravel the secrets hidden in the jungle.
