Summary

"Courage, True Hearts: Sailing in Search of Fortune" by Gordon Stables is a 19th-century fiction novel that chronicles the coming-of-age journey of two brothers, Duncan and Conal M’Vayne, as they strive to fulfill their aspirations while transitioning from the Scottish Highlands to London. Exploring themes of adventure, brotherhood, and bravery, the narrative begins with an image of their peaceful life in Scotland, complete with shooting in the woods alongside their sister, Flora, and their Newfoundland dog, Viking. A letter from a relative, Colonel Trelawney, changes everything when he offers to switch the boys' lives: his son will spend the winter in the Highlands, as the M'Vayne boys journey to London. This exchange sets the stage for a transformative experience as they leave behind their rural home for the challenges and excitement of city life.
