| Summary |
"Two Little Knights of Kentucky" by Annie F. Johnston is a children's novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around two spirited boys, Malcolm and Keith Maclntyre, who are staying with their grandmother in a quaint Kentucky valley during a cold winter. As the narrative begins, we witness their lively adventures filled with warmth, mischief, and encounters that challenge their understanding of kindness and compassion. At the start of the book, the boys are eagerly waiting for their aunt and a girl named Virginia, nicknamed Ginger, at the local train depot. The arrival of a scrappy tramp and a shaggy bear introduces an intriguing twist to their day. The boys, full of curiosity and goodwill, engage with the tramp and his bear, unknowingly stepping into a moral dilemma that tests their young hearts' trust and innocence. Their kindness leads them into a series of escalating adventures with the tramp, while foreshadowing deeper themes of generosity and the realities of life beyond their sheltered existence.
