| Summary |
"A Little Boy Lost" by W. H. Hudson is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story follows a young boy named Martin who, after a series of whimsical adventures, becomes separated from his home on the great plain and embarks on a journey through various landscapes, encountering strange creatures and learning about the world around him. The opening of the book introduces Martin's idyllic early life with his family, particularly focusing on his father, a carpenter, and the unique environment of their home in a remote area. Martin is depicted as a curious and adventurous child, often playing among the sunflowers and befriending the creatures of the land. However, a misadventure involving a snake leads to a mix of parental worry and concern. As Martin grows, he begins to explore further, becoming fascinated with the natural world and the strange mirages on the horizon. This opening ultimately sets the stage for his forthcoming adventures and hints at themes of innocence, exploration, and the contrast between childhood wonder and the complexities of the adult world.
