| Summary | "The History of David Grieve" by Mrs. Humphry Ward is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story follows the life of David Grieve, a young boy growing up in a rural Derbyshire setting alongside his sister Louie. The opening chapters introduce their family dynamic, particularly the hardships faced within their aunt's household, and establish David's character, which is defined by his curious nature and resilience. The beginning of the book portrays the daily life and interactions of David and Louie on a farm. As the children navigate their rustic environment, we witness their relationship characterized by playful conflict and sibling rivalry. David is depicted as a responsible boy, often rescuing his sister from trouble, while Louie exhibits a rebellious spirit and mischievousness. Amidst their playful banter, the narrative hints at deeper emotional undercurrents, particularly through David's attachment to his books and the outside world. The setting is lush and evocative, with a particular focus on the moorlands, reflecting the joys and struggles of childhood in a changing rural society.
