| Summary | "Redcoat Captain: A Story of That Country" by Alfred Ollivant is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces readers to Tiny, a Redcoat Captain, and Baby, the daughter of a merry lady, as they navigate their lives in a magical land known as That Country. The narrative is whimsical and filled with childlike wonder, depicting their adventures and budding romance against the backdrop of a fantastical military setting. The opening of the book sets a vibrant scene in That Country, where Tiny eagerly prepares to marry Baby, whom he affectionately calls his "little friend." Tiny interacts with a host of colorful characters, including the Major-General, who, despite his pomp and self-importance, provides comic relief. The whimsical tone of the narrative is established as Tiny grapples with his duties as a soldier and his desire to create a happy life with Baby. As the Captain learns about the rules of their enchanting world, including the threat posed by the villainous Commander-in-Chief, the stage is set for a charming mix of romance and adventure. The opening's rich descriptions and playful dialogue hint at the whimsical journey that awaits in this story. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
