Alive in the Jungle: A Story for the Young by Eleanor Stredder
"Alive in the Jungle: A Story for the Young" by Eleanor Stredder is a children's tale likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around a family living in Bengal, particularly focusing on the trials of the Desborough family after a wolf kidnaps their young son, Carl. The story intertwines themes of adventure, familial bonds, and the challenges of living in a wild environment. At the start of the story,
the atmosphere is tense and foreboding as nighttime in Bengal is filled with the sounds of a tiger and a buffalo fighting nearby Mr. Desborough’s indigo factory. The youngest child, Racy, is ill, and the family is anxiously trying to keep the household calm amidst the chaos outside. When a wolf breaks into their home, it successfully absconds with Carl, prompting Mr. Desborough to undertake a desperate pursuit. As darkness envelops the landscape, the scene sets the stage for both adventure and fear, establishing a gripping conflict that drives the plot forward. The opening effectively introduces the characters and stakes, engaging the reader in the unfolding drama. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
