Summary "Menhardoc" by George Manville Fenn is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in a picturesque Cornish fishing village and revolves around Mr. Temple and his twin sons, Arthur and Richard, who are on summer holiday there. The distinction between the brothers is stark: Arthur, the more foppish, dislikes getting his hands dirty, while Richard is adventurous and eager to explore the local life, including fishing and mining, common to the area. The opening of the novel introduces the two brothers as they settle into their summer retreat. Richard, also known as Will, quickly befriends a local fisherman named Josh Helston while engaging in fishing expeditions, uncovering the dynamics of village life, and learning about the area’s rich fishing and mining activities. The narrative sets the stage for Will’s adventurous spirit as he seeks knowledge, navigates family dynamics, and ventures into dangerous territories, such as abandoned mines. The tone hints at both excitement and peril, promising thrilling experiences ahead while exploring the historical backdrop of Cornwall's fishing and mining practices.
