Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Boys of Grand Pré School" by James De Mille is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a group of boys from the Grand Pré School, primarily focusing on their adventures, camaraderie, and imaginative endeavors. In the opening chapters, the boys transition from their spring recess back to study, revealing their energetic spirit and exploration of the woods, where they engage in playful activities and youthful antics. The beginning of the novel introduces the boys of the "B. O. W. C." as they celebrate the last day of their vacation in the woods. Their day is animatedly spent planning and crafting weapons for imaginary battles, until they are unexpectedly visited by Captain Corbet, who brings with him news of a "mineral rod" and the potential for buried treasure. This discovery ignites a thrill of adventure among the boys, leading them to plot a secret treasure hunt in an ancient French cellar, unaware of the supernatural occurrences that are woven into their escapades. The opening sets the tone for a lively tale of youthful imagination filled with the allure of adventure and mystery.
