Lucian the dreamer

"Lucian the dreamer" by J. S. Fletcher tells the story of the titular character, Lucian, a boy who lives more in his head than in the real world. Throughout his life, Lucian has many loves and ends up under the care of his aunt and uncle, who live in the country, but it isn't until he breaks free from his normal routine that he is finally forced to be a "doer" and not just a thinker and dreamer.
