Henty is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. The narrative is set in 17th century England, a period marked by the turmoil of the Restoration after the English Civil War and encompasses the tragedy of the Great Fire of London. The story follows the young protagonist, Cyril Shenstone, the son of a disillusioned Cavalier, as he navigates the challenges of life after his father's death, seeking to forge his own path in a world rife with adventure and adversity. The opening of the book introduces Cyril at a poignant moment in his life as he mourns the loss of his father, Sir Aubrey Shenstone, who is characterized as a brave yet reckless figure lacking the virtues necessary for responsible fatherhood. Living under the care of Lady Parton and her family, Cyril is portrayed as a reflective and resilient youth, aspiring to become a soldier despite the struggles of his family’s fallen nobility. As Cyril embarks on a journey of self-discovery and grapples with his ambitions amidst the backdrop of political upheaval, readers are drawn into the intricacies of Restoration England, foreshadowing the challenges he will face as the Great Fire looms ahead.
