"In Times of Peril: A Tale of India" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. It unfolds in the context of British India during a period of tumultuous strife, particularly focusing on the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The story centers around the Warrener family, particularly the siblings Ned and Dick, and their cousin, Rose, as they navigate the dangers and complexities of a society on the brink of revolution. The opening of the tale introduces readers to the peaceful yet insular life in the British cantonments of Sandynugghur, where the Anglo-Indian community engages in leisure activities while unaware of the rising tensions threatening their security. The narrative quickly escalates from a seemingly idyllic daily life to a foreboding atmosphere as Major Warrener, their father, shares troubling news about discontent among the Sepoy troops. As unrest ignites, the young Warreners and Rose are thrust into a nightmare as mutiny erupts and they must flee for their lives. With a well-crafted blend of adventure and historical detail, the beginning sets the stage for an engaging journey through peril and resilience in a time of crisis.

Reading ease score: 73.9 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
