Original Publication United Kingdom: Gall and Inglis, 1902.
Summary "Sir Richard's Grandson: or, A Soldier's Son" by Eleanora H. Stooke is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around young Dick Gidley, the son of a soldier, who is living in India with his parents. Due to health concerns, Dick is ultimately sent to England, where he will stay with his relatives, including his stern grandfather, Sir Richard, setting the stage for themes of family dynamics, duty, and personal growth as he navigates his new environment. The opening portion of the novel introduces Dick and his parents, Captain and Mrs. Gidley, as they navigate life in India. Concern for Dick’s health drives the decision to send him back to England, where he will live with his Aunt Mary Ann and Uncle Theophilus. This section also highlights the close bond between Dick and his mother, as well as the implications of his grandfather’s disapproval of his father, hinting at deeper family tensions. The narrative portrays Dick's youthful innocence and curiosity, providing a backdrop for his journey of discovery and the challenges that lie ahead as he adjusts to his new life.
