Summary "With Wellington in Spain: A Story of the Peninsula" by F. S. Brereton is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers on young Tom Clifford, the son of a wine merchant, whose life takes an unexpected turn when he is impressed into the British Navy during the tumultuous times of the Napoleonic Wars. The book explores themes of bravery, adventure, and the challenges faced by individuals in times of conflict, set against the backdrop of the Peninsula War. The opening of the book introduces us to the character of Septimus John Clifford, a cheerful wine merchant, and his son Tom, who is on the brink of a significant change in his life as he is about to be sent to Oporto to assist in the family business. However, amid internal family conflicts and the chaos of the ongoing war, Tom finds himself in a fight with his cousin José, who has been harboring jealousy and resentment. This rivalry leads to a dramatic twist when Tom is kidnapped by a press gang, marking the beginning of his journey at sea and the adventures that await him in the backdrop of the war. The vivid descriptions and engaging character dynamics set the stage for an exciting tale of bravery and resilience. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
