Summary "Martin of Old London" by Herbert Strang is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set in 1666 amidst the backdrop of London, the story follows a young boy named Martin Leake, who is navigating life's challenges after losing his father and mother to the Plague. As he finds himself working under a strict goldsmith, Martin encounters a series of mysterious events linked to foreign sailors and his volatile employer, which leads him into adventures that test his courage and wits. The opening of the novel introduces Martin, a fourteen-year-old boy who takes solace at the riverside of London after enduring a hot day. As he wanders along the Thames, the narrative hints at upcoming intrigue when he observes a foreign sailor and later encounters a suspicious man who speaks to the sailor. Following this, readers learn of Martin's struggles at home and in his job, where he faces the ill temper of Mr. Slocum, the goldsmith's manager. As Martin navigates his daily responsibilities, he grapples with thoughts of adventure on the sea and the safety of his family, setting the stage for the unfolding mystery and challenges he will face throughout the story.
