Author Quiller-Couch, Mabel, 1865-1924
Title Paul the Courageous
Credits E-text prepared by Lionel Sear
Summary "Paul the Courageous" by Mabel Quiller-Couch is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Paul Anketell, who grapples with feelings of disappointment and adventures in a sleepy town as he navigates family challenges, particularly a financial setback that threatens the holiday plans he envisioned with his siblings, Stella and Michael. At the start of the novel, the Anketell family faces a disappointment when they learn they cannot go on a long-anticipated trip to Norway due to their father's financial troubles. Paul, filled with a longing for adventure and excitement, struggles with this news and initially reacts with childish frustration. However, as the story unfolds, we see Paul's character evolve as he confronts more serious challenges, including a frightening incident involving a treacherous bog and a potential threat from escaped convicts. This beginning sets up a narrative rich in themes of courage, responsibility, and the importance of family, ultimately leading to a critical moment that tests Paul's bravery and character.
