About this book
Mass' George A Boy's Adventures in the Old Savannah by George Manville Fenn plunges listeners into a rousing tale of danger, loyalty, and growing up on the colonial frontier. Set in mid-18th century Georgia during the early days of King George II’s colonization, this historical adventure novel follows young George Bruton, son of Captain Bruton, and Pompey (“Pomp”), the son of one of the captain’s slaves, as they learn one another’s language and form an unlikely friendship.
Packed with thrilling scenes—alligators and snakes, raging fires and floods, clashes with Native American tribes and Spanish forces from Florida—the story blends travelogue atmosphere with spirited dialogue and moral reflection. Themes of loyalty, faith, and the complexities of slavery and social class emerge naturally from the boys’ companionship and the trials they endure together, giving the narrative both heart and historical weight.
Ideal for fans of classic adventure fiction, historical YA, and travel tales, this audiobook will appeal to listeners who enjoy fast-paced survival stories grounded in period detail and ethical questions. Tune in for an engaging, old-school adventure that captures the dangers and wonders of the old Savannah.
