Weedon et al. is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The anthology features tales of adventure, bravery, and moral lessons centered around themes such as war, friendship, and personal growth. Each story showcases different characters, from young boys and their thrilling escapades to courageous actions in the face of danger. The opening of the book introduces the story "How Jean Became a Soldier," focusing on a young boy named Jean le Grand living in a peaceful farmhouse near the battlefield of Waterloo. With his father absent and his mother unwell, Jean takes on burdensome farm work. However, when he learns that his father has turned traitor, he resolves to ride swiftly to warn the English general of the impending threat posed by a French officer. Jean's bravery and determination are tested as he navigates both the treacherous terrain and the lurking perils of war, eventually leading to his enlistment in the English army as a drummer boy following a series of harrowing events. This opening sets a tone of adventure and valor that appears to resonate throughout the collection.
