| Summary | "In Search of Fortune: A Tale of the Old Land and the New" by Gordon Stables is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a young boy named Archie Broadbent, who is on the cusp of turning ten and is filled with the excitement and ambitions that come with childhood. The narrative explores the life and adventures of Archie as he navigates his childhood on a charming Northumbrian farm, full of familial warmth and rural life, which is colored by his relationships with his family and friends. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to Archie and his family as they celebrate his upcoming birthday. The opening emphasizes the playful banter between Archie and his father, showcasing Archie's lively personality and desire to prove his maturity as he approaches this new age. It hints at his adventurous spirit, as he dreams of going on a hunting expedition to avenge the loss of their pet rooster to a fox. Through light-hearted dialogue and vivid descriptions of their cozy home and surroundings, the beginning sets a tone of nostalgia and innocence while introducing the themes of family dynamics and the joys of childhood exploration.
