Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows young Ned Hearne, nicknamed "the Otter," who aspires to join Sir Francis Drake's daring expedition against Spain during the late 16th century. As he embarks on this adventure alongside famous figures, the book delves into themes of bravery, adventure, and the perils of sea voyages. The beginning of the narrative introduces us to a stormy morning in May 1572, where the local fishermen of Westport are discussing the exploits of Master Francis Drake. We meet Ned Hearne, who demonstrates extraordinary courage by swimming out to rescue individuals from a sinking ship, attracting the attention of Drake himself. Following this act of bravery, Ned is offered a position on Drake's voyage, fulfilling his dreams of adventure at sea.
