| Summary | "Child of the Regiment" by Anonymous is a poignant children's novel written in the early 19th century. The book tells the touching story of a little girl named Mary, who becomes a beloved member of a French soldier's regiment during the tumult of the Napoleonic wars. It explores themes of love, loss, and the bonds formed in times of adversity, all set against the backdrop of war. The narrative begins with the brutal scene of a battle where Mary is discovered alone after losing her family. Rescued by a kind soldier known as the Old Guard, she grows up among the soldiers and forms a deep attachment to them. The plot follows her journey, including her education, friendship with a young boy named Rodolph, and eventual reunion with her mother, who had thought her lost forever. As Mary experiences the challenges of her environment, she embodies resilience and warmth, ultimately leading to a reunion that brings closure to her tumultuous childhood and a hopeful future intertwined with love and friendship.
