Stoddard is a novel that likely dates from the late 19th century. This story embarks on the adventures of a spirited young boy named Ned Webb, who dreams of conquering England amid a backdrop of military discussions and technological innovations of his time. As the tale unfolds, it becomes evident that Ned’s aspirations are intertwined with his exuberant spirit and youthful ambition. The opening of the novel introduces us to Ned, who is out with his Uncle Jack observing the powerful ironclad battleship, the Kentucky. Their conversation teems with references to warfare and the modern era, juxtaposing Ned's innocent excitement about heroism with Uncle Jack's weariness regarding the dangers of conflict. As Ned is sent to his grandfather's house in the country, his interactions reveal his fondness for adventure and animals, especially horses. An unexpected series of events leads him to a fascinating adventure when he is magically transported to a Norse village, where he finds himself amidst Vikings preparing for a raid on England, deepening his exposure to the excitement he longs for. The narrative sets the stage for not just a coming-of-age adventure, but an exploration of history, culture, and the young hero's place within them.
