Description & Overview
G. A. Henty's In the Hands of the Malays and Other Stories brings together three fast-moving tales of danger, loyalty, and endurance. The title story and companion pieces On the Track, Marooned, and A Frontier Girl range from perilous travel and frontier hardship to suspenseful investigation and social conflict, all told in Henty's vivid historical style. A boy or young protagonist must survive a tragic Christmas, follow hard-won clues, and depend on friendship and quick judgment to uncover the truth. In Brownsville, the disappearance of a bank cashier sparks a tense debate over whether justice or discretion best protects the institution, while Roland Partridge lives under suspicion and disgrace, determined to prove his father was framed. Cissie White's fierce loyalty and Tom Fernlea's growing sympathy deepen the mystery, and a painful letter from Roland's father reveals the fear, shame, and lifelong fragility behind his flight. Together, these stories blend adventure, moral courage, and the high cost of public judgment. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
