| Summary |
"Jungle and Stream; Or, The Adventures of Two Boys in Siam" by George Manville Fenn is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around two boys, Harry Kenyon and his friend, the young Siamese Prince Phra, who embark on various adventures in the wild jungles of Siam (now Thailand). Their experiences highlight the beauty and danger of their exotic surroundings, as well as their resourcefulness in the face of challenges like wildlife encounters and the local customs. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Harry Kenyon, who lives in a bungalow near a river in Siam with his father, an East India merchant. As Harry wakes up to a typical day, he bemuses over his repetitive breakfast choices while contemplating the various wild creatures he’s grown accustomed to in his life. The opening chapters also portray a thrilling encounter with a crocodile, showcasing Harry's adventurous spirit, his boyish bravado, and the humorous interactions with his household staff and friends. The narrative sets a tone of youthful discovery and the bond between the boys, promising an engaging blend of adventure, humor, and exploration of a foreign land.
