Synopsis
Excerpt from Little Sir Nicholas: A Story for Children
It became an established custom that the eldest son of the house of Tremaine should be baptized Nicholas, and that he should go into the navy.
There was 9. Nicholas Tremaine, the Admiral, twelfth Baronet, who had fought in a great naval battle, and whose last thought as he lay mortally wounded was for the sailors who had done their duty so nobly, and had been struck down by the enemy's fire.

Little Sir Nicholas: A Story for Children (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the tale of Sir Nicholas Tremaine's family, who continue the age-old tradition of service to their country, with the eldest son of each generation joining the Navy. This tradition tragically ends when young Nicholas Tremaine, set to become a sailor, drowns in a shipwreck. His brother, Walter, becomes a soldier and serves in India but is killed during the Siege of Lucknow, along with his young wife. The author skillfully captures the sorrow and resilience of the Tremaine family as they navigate these devastating losses. The narrative shifts when news arrives of the survival of Walter's three-year-old son, Nicco, who inherits the baronetcy. However, Nicco tragically drowns before he can fulfill his dream of becoming a sailor. The story then follows the Tremaine's adjustment to their new reality and their efforts to honor the memory of their lost loved ones. This book is not merely a chronicle of personal tragedies, but a moving exploration of the human experience of grief and the ways in which we find meaning in the face of adversity. The author's sensitive and nuanced portrayal of the Tremaine family's journey through loss and renewal offers readers a profound and ultimately uplifting meditation on the enduring power of love and the importance of carrying on in the face of life's inevitable challenges.
