| Summary | "The Pride of Jennico: Being a Memoir of Captain Basil Jennico" by Agnes and Egerton Castle is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Captain Basil Jennico, who finds himself in a complicated situation following the unexpected legacy from his great-uncle, which elevates him to a position of significant wealth and land ownership in Moravia. As he navigates his new life filled with social responsibilities and personal dilemmas, he grapples with themes of pride, heritage, and romance. The opening portion of the memoir introduces us to Basil Jennico, who begins to write during a storm at his ancestral castle in Moravia. His narrative reflects on the legacy he received from his great-uncle, which transformed his life from a modest military officer to a landowner with vast territories. In his introspective exploration, he reveals his internal conflicts about family pride, the responsibilities tied to his newfound wealth, and a burgeoning love for a mysterious princess. As he reminisces about his family's esteemed lineage and his duty to uphold it, the reader gets a sense of the rich historical context and character depth that will shape the unfolding story.
