A. Henty is a collection of fictional narratives written in the late 19th century. The book prominently features characters like Major Ackworth and his daughter Nita, set against the backdrop of British colonial India, particularly focusing on military life and personal challenges amidst conflicts on the North-West frontier. The stories likely explore themes of bravery, gender roles, and the volatility of frontier life. The opening of the first story introduces us to Major Ackworth and his daughter Nita as they prepare for an expedition against hostile tribes threatening their fort at Darlinger. Major Ackworth expresses concern for Nita’s safety, insisting she must go to England for her education, while Nita's spirited nature reveals her discomfort with the expectations placed on young women in that era. As the major departs, Nita takes on a subaltern role, showcasing her determination and skills in preparation for potential conflict. Tension builds as she foresees trouble brewing, indicating a narrative filled with action, suspense, and the struggles of a young girl navigating the limitations of her gender in a military setting.
