A. Henty is a collection of adventure stories written during the late 19th century. The book features various narratives that encompass themes of bravery, peril, and the exploits of its main characters, often set against historically rich backdrops. Henty, known for his historical fiction, likely centers on characters who embody courage in the face of danger, drawing the reader into thrilling escapades. The opening of the book introduces a group of characters gathered at Colonel Hastings' bungalow in Poonah. As they enjoy their time together, Miss Hastings expresses disappointment at a local bear that does not meet her expectations of ferocity. This prompts Colonel Hastings to recount a personal tale of danger involving a bear he encountered while serving in the Deccan, during a period marked by dacoity. The narrative delves into his past experiences with the dacoits and culminates in an intense struggle for survival against the bear, setting the tone for the adventurous stories that follow in the collection.
