A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. It recounts the events surrounding the Boxer Rebellion and the subsequent relief of the besieged Legations in Pekin, focusing on the experiences of young Reginald "Rex" Bateman and his loyal Chinese servant, Ah Lo. The book delves into themes of cultural conflict, bravery, and the complexities of colonialism as the characters navigate dangerous political landscapes in China. The opening of the story introduces Rex, who has just returned to England from China with his uncle, Mr. Bateman.

Meanwhile, the prelude sets the stage for impending conflict in China, hinting at the rising threat of the Boxers and the volatile situation for foreigners and missionaries.
