"Under Honour's Flag" by Eric Lisle is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Ralph Rexworth, a boy who has just arrived in England with his father, only to become embroiled in a mystery surrounding his father's disappearance. With themes of honor, bravery, and the quest for truth, the narrative explores Ralph's challenges as he adjusts to life in an English town and faces adversaries who question his integrity. The beginning of the novel introduces a foreboding autumn scene as Ralph and his father arrive in the quaint town of Stow Ormond. The father expresses nostalgia and a mix of hope and anxiety regarding their stay, hinting at deeper issues tied to their past. After settling into the local inn, Ralph eagerly explores the town, but an unforeseen incident involving a ferocious bull tests his courage and sets the tone for the young boy's character. When Ralph's father mysteriously disappears, leaving behind a bloodied hat, Ralph feels compelled to act, showcasing his determination and resourcefulness, which will become central to his journey as he seeks to uncover the truth behind his father's fate and confronts various challenges along the way.
