Summary "The Sauciest Boy in the Service: A Story of Pluck and Perseverance" by W. Gordon-Stables is a boys' adventure novel likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Kep Drummond, a spirited fourteen-year-old boy with a romanticized view of the sea and a longing for adventure. The story follows his determination to break away from the confines of his Cornish estate and explore the world, driven by a deep passion for maritime tales and the allure of ocean life. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Kep, who is deeply enchanted by the ocean and the idea of seafaring adventures. He is depicted reading vivid sea stories while sitting atop a cliff overlooking his father’s estate, fantasizing about life at sea. As his longing for adventure grows, Kep considers running away to embrace a life of exploration. He shares a close bond with his sister Madge and is depicted as a charming, imaginative boy destined for electrifying escapades. However, his journey takes a decisive turn when he ultimately leaves home, setting the stage for a captivating tale filled with challenges and discoveries in the vast maritime world.
