Title Charley's Log: A Story of Schoolboy Life
Credits Produced by Al Haines
Summary "Charley's Log: A Story of Schoolboy Life" by Emma Leslie is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Captain Charles Stewart, a young boy at school who aspires to become a sailor. The narrative captures his experiences, friendships, and challenges, emphasizing themes of growth, responsibility, and the transition from childhood to adulthood. The opening of the book introduces us to Charley and his best friend Tom Haslitt as they navigate their new school environment. Charley is determined to keep a log as part of his preparation for a future at sea, constantly reminded of his mother’s and uncle’s expectations. As they adjust to school life, we see Charley's playful spirit clash with the realities of responsibilities and character development, particularly after getting into scrapes. He grapples with the influence of school authority and the friendships he tries to maintain amidst the trials of growing up, setting the stage for the adventures and moral lessons that will unfold throughout the novel.
