Through the Fray

by G. A. Henty

Ned Sankey, a spirited and determined boy, navigates the tumultuous backdrop of the Luddite riots in early 19th-century Yorkshire. His life takes a tragic turn with the loss of his father, throwing him into a world of hardship and uncertainty. As the riots escalate, Ned witnesses the devastation and violence that grip his community. He grapples with his own emotions, facing his own internal struggles alongside the external chaos that surrounds him. Amidst the turmoil, Ned finds strength in friendship and discovers the true meaning of courage and resilience. The story explores themes of social unrest, loss, and the power of personal determination in the face of adversity.
