Summary "Two Little Travellers" by Frances Browne Arthur is a children's story written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows two small siblings, Darby and Joan Dene, who grapple with the absence of their father, a soldier deploying to South Africa, and the recent loss of their mother. As they navigate their emotions and the tasks set upon them by responsible adults, the siblings embark on adventures that speak to their innocence and adventurous spirit. The opening of the story paints a vivid picture of a warm autumn afternoon, where the children are enjoying moments of closeness with their father under a cedar tree. However, the impending departure of Captain Dene creates an atmosphere of melancholy. This mix of joy and sadness sets the stage for their journey, emphasizing their deep bond as they prepare to face life without their father. Their longing for adventure is showcased when they contemplate exploring the nearby woods, leading to a series of imaginative escapades that ultimately test their courage and resilience as they confront feelings of loss, companionship, and the overarching theme of childhood innocence.
