Summary: "The Black Tor: A Tale of the Reign of James the First" by George Manville Fenn is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around two teenage boys from rival families, the Darleys and the Edens, whose bitter feud has persisted for generations. Set against a backdrop of wild Derbyshire hills, the narrative explores themes of rivalry, courage, and youthful alliances as the boys navigate their familial conflicts while facing external threats from a band of ex-soldiers. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Ralph Darley, a spirited young man who encounters a group of rugged men led by Captain Purlrose, an old comrade of his father. Captain Purlrose seeks assistance from Ralph's father, Sir Morton, but the visit stirs up negative feelings due to the captain's questionable past. Meanwhile, the ongoing rivalry with the Edens looms large, especially as Ralph ponders the family's historical enmity. The opening portion establishes a tense atmosphere filled with potential conflict as Ralph and his father grapple with the arrival of Purlrose and the implications of their old feud.
