Summary "The Children of France" by Ruth Royce is a collection of stories written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the tales of bravery and sacrifice among young French patriots during World War I, showcasing the remarkable acts of valor performed by children like Remi, Mathilde, and Jean. Each character exemplifies the spirit of heroism in the face of adversity, portraying how even the youngest can make significant contributions to their country in times of war. The opening of the story introduces the setting and intent of the collection, as Captain Favor captivates a group of neighborhood children with accounts of bravery from the youth of France. He begins with the tale of Robert Favor, who transforms from a wealthy, aloof boy to a decorated soldier in the French Army, emphasizing how he becomes a source of inspiration for the local children. Following this introduction, Captain Favor offers thrilling anecdotes of children like Remi, who, despite his young age, demonstrates unwavering courage by joining the fight against the Germans. These opening chapters set the tone for a series of exhilarating tales that convey messages of patriotism, courage, and the indomitable spirit of youth during wartime.
