| 520 | _a"The Drummer's Coat" by Sir J. W. Fortescue is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the quaint village of Ashacombe in Devon, where the societal dynamics and local lore intertwine, involving themes of war, heritage, and childhood innocence. The narrative centers on the children Dick and Elsie Bracefort, their connection to the village and the legacy of their father, Captain Richard Bracefort, who was lost in battle during the Peninsular War. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the idyllic setting of Ashacombe, characterized by its picturesque landscape and the beloved Bracefort Hall, which holds the story of the Bracefort family. The chapter presents Dick and Elsie enjoying a simple summer day, filled with local traditions, while hinting at the past events that have shaped their lives. Despite the tranquil exterior, the village is ripe with whispers of witchcraft and superstition, particularly surrounding the mute child Tommy Fry, casting a shadow over the otherwise serene community. As the children navigate their innocent adventures and the adult themes of loss and loyalty loom large, the stage is set for deeper exploration of personal and communal histories tied to the allure of a mysterious drummer's coat on display at the Hall.
