Adventure Stories

Adventure stories - Narratives about action or events involving danger and conflict and developing with speed and urgency. The protagonist at the centre of the action is a child, or youthfully-minded adult, who struggles to meet a challenge and achieve the required happy ending. The protagonists characteristically display more than ordinary abilities in single-mindedly pursuing a moral cause, and in the best stories they are changed and enriched by their adventures.
