This narrative portrays life in New England during the days of early settlement and the Indian Wars, focusing on the experiences of a young Indian boy named Little Metacomet, son of King Philip, and his interactions with both native peoples and early colonists. The story aims to illustrate the friendship that blossoms between Metacomet and a timid white woman named Susan, capturing the beauty of their lives intertwined with the natural world and the complexities of their cultures. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to timid Susan Barley, who lives near the Mt. Hope lands, and her son Roger, both of whom harbor fears about their surroundings and the local Indians. Their path crosses with that of a hermit named William Blackstone, who has a naturalistic view on life. As the narrative unfolds, Metacomet emerges as a charismatic and inquisitive boy, deeply connected to nature, who is keen on sharing the wonders of the woods with Roger. The opening chapters establish a poignant backdrop of cultural exchange and innocence, setting the stage for their evolving friendship as they navigate the idyllic yet tumultuous times leading up to King Philip's War.
