O. E. is a collection of stories written in the mid-19th century. This work explores various dimensions of heroism through tales featuring young characters who exemplify courage, selflessness, and moral integrity. The narratives are structured around the experiences of children at Ivy Lodge and their interactions with an older mentor figure, Mr. Presgrave, as they prepare stories that highlight different heroic acts. The opening of the book introduces readers to Ivy Lodge, a setting buzzing with youthful energy as siblings and cousins find ways to entertain themselves on a rainy holiday. The children, including Tom, Willy, and their cousins, express their boredom and discontent, sparking discussions about games and storytelling. Mr. Presgrave enters and, sensing their restlessness, proposes that each child share a story rooted in truth about acts of heroism. This sets the stage for the unfolding tales, beginning with Jessie’s recounting of a courageous ship pilot who risks everything to save passengers from a fire at sea. The stories blend adventure and moral lessons, portraying heroism in various contexts, including personal sacrifice and steadfastness in the face of adversity.
