About this eBook

Author Fenn, George Manville, 1831-1909
Title Brownsmith's Boy: A Romance in a Garden
Credits Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
Summary "Brownsmith's Boy: A Romance in a Garden" by George Manville Fenn is a novel likely written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around young Grant Dennison, who faces personal challenges after the death of his mother. He learns about gardening and companionship as he becomes embroiled in the lives of market gardeners and the wild boy Shock, which reflects themes of friendship, growth, and the bittersweet nature of childhood. At the start of the novel, Grant watches over the garden from his window, feeling isolated and yearning for connection. His observations reveal his fascination with the boy Shock, who seems carefree yet embodies a raw kind of freedom that Grant envies. When Grant's mother falls ill and ultimately passes away, the sudden change in his life propels him into a world filled with work and the complexities of human relationships, particularly with Old Brownsmith, the gardener who offers an unexpected kindness. The narrative sets the stage for a coming-of-age story, exploring Grant's transformation as he navigates grief, youth, and the beginning of his journey into adulthood amidst the backdrop of the vibrant garden.
