"John Splendid: The Tale of a Poor Gentleman, and the Little Wars of Lorn" by Neil Munro is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the Scottish Highlands and follows the protagonist, Colin Elrigmore, as he returns home to Inneraora after years of military service abroad, only to find his homeland rife with unrest and conflict. The narrative intertwines themes of adventure, personal growth, and the contrasts between the tranquil countryside and the upheaval brought about by external and internal strife. The opening of the book introduces Elrigmore as he reflects on his long-awaited homecoming, dreaming of how he would be received after his time at Glasgow College and his service in the foreign wars.

This melancholy setting is driven home when he discovers his mother's death u
