"Adventures of an Aide-de-Camp; or, A Campaign in Calabria, Volume 1 (of 3)" by James Grant is a historical novel written during the mid-19th century. The narrative unfolds the story of Lieutenant Claude Dundas, who serves as an aide-de-camp to Major-General Sir John Stuart during a British military expedition to Calabria to assist the Neapolitan forces against the French. The novel promises a blend of military adventure and romantic intrigue set against the backdrop of war-torn Italy. At the start of the story, the British troops land in Calabria amidst the chaotic backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars. As they prepare for battle, their arrival stirs the local populace, eager to resist the French occupation. The protagonist, Lieutenant Dundas, is eager to prove himself, not only in the face of imminent conflict but also amidst personal rivalries and budding romances. The opening chapters introduce the tension of military life, the picturesque yet dangerous allure of Calabria, and the first encounters between British troops and the local bandits, setting the stage for a tale of heroism, betrayal, and perhaps unexpected love.

Reading ease score: 61.7 (8th & 9th grade). Neither easy nor difficult to read.
