Summary "A Boy's Adventures Round the World" by John Andrew Higginson is a fictional novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Jack Clewlin, a young boy with dreams of adventure at sea, following his journey from home in Stonewell to embarking on a life-changing voyage aboard the clipper ship "Silver Crown." The narrative weaves elements of nautical life, personal growth, and the challenges of maintaining one's principles amidst worldly temptations. The opening of this tale introduces Jack Clewlin, who, longing for a life at sea, chooses to become an apprentice sailor rather than pursue a mundane clerkship. It details his early years, his relationship with his father, Captain Clewlin, and the moral values instilled in him by his mother. As Jack prepares to embark on his first voyage aboard the "Silver Crown," the ship's grandeur and the sincerity of his father's advice on faith and personal integrity set the tone for the adventures and trials he will face at sea. The initial chapters highlight the excitement of setting sail, establishing Jack's character as both determined and principled, which are key traits that will guide him throughout his journey.
