| Summary |
"His Little Royal Highness" by Ruth Ogden is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Reginald Fairfax, who has recently suffered an accident that leaves him in recovery. His adventures unfold as he navigates his new role as a little “king” while dealing with the challenges of being cared for by friends and family, building a sense of camaraderie and loyalty with his playmates, Nan and Harry. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Reginald, who is in a hospital cot following an accident that caused him to break his leg. The narrative details his interactions with Nan and Harry, emphasizing their imaginative games and the playful dynamics of their friendship. They create a royal scenario where Regie becomes a king, with his friends as his loyal bodyguard, injecting humor and warmth into the scene. Meanwhile, as the children show their affection and concern for Regie, the story hints at deeper themes of love, acceptance, and the struggles of growing up as an adopted child with a sensitive heart. The opening sets the stage for a tale of childhood innocence, resilience, and the joy of friendship. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
