The Indian Boy by Rev. H. C. Adams
April 2018
Originally published in 1865 and taking place at an English boarding school in 1816 or 1817, this is a story about bullying amongst youngsters in a different era, but holding all the lessons of a similar story that might take place in the modern era. The title character of The Indian Boy is a dark-complexioned boy from India who comes to Brunswick House as a new student at a school which had never before matriculated such a boy.
Many of the other boys tease him, a couple of them outright bully him, and one young man tries to protect him. Intended for teenagers or young adults, this novella-length book paints a vivid picture of the evil which boys can get up to; and then reinforces the intended moral of the story with a rather harsh ultimate penalty for the two main culprits.
