The Adventures of Don Lavington: Nolens Volens

"The Adventures of Don Lavington: Nolens Volens" by George Manville Fenn is a tale from the 1800s about a young clerk named Lindon Lavington, wronged by his uncle Josiah and cast into a world of unforeseen challenges. When money vanishes from his uncle's office, suspicion unfairly lands on Lindon, setting him on a course that veers far from his Bristol home. This story explores the themes of unfairness, thrill-seeking, and the spirit of youthful rebellion, painting a picture of a young man's quest to find himself. Unhappy under his uncle’s roof and pushed by the encouragement of a rogue named Mike Bannock, Lindon's longing for freedom grows, leading him to make a brave decision to run away and chase a life of adventure far from the troubles and constraints of his current life. The beginning lays the groundwork for a journey packed with excitement, conflict, and a deep yearning for freedom.
