I like most GA Henty books, but this one was long and extra tedious. It has been over a year since I read the first half, so I don't remember much of it, but the second half was full of battles and sieges and covers 30 years. Very little was worth mentioning of Walter during this time , except that
Loved and reread this book over and over again as a kid so its a kid's rating.
If you enjoy lengthy chapters on political affairs of the time and about all the battles and wars then you would enjoy this.
I liked the story on Walter's life but it was so sparse and far in-between that I skipped and skimmed many pages that all talked about the details of curtain battles.
Just not
This was good, but not one of my favorites of Henty so far. There was a lot that happened in this time in history so most of the book related the facts of the battles and such and couldn't focus on the fictional story within the history. Good for history buffs.
My Favorite Henty Novel Thus Far
This episode of historical fiction is the best one I have read yet (the 9th in order of their chronological history). Heroic deeds which mark Henty's novels still prevail, but the action herein sped this reader through the pages! I am excited to read the next book in
The story of a noble man raised by foster parents who rises to the top of English nobility as a result of his noble bearing, honesty, courage, martial abilities and intelligence. Opening in November, 1330 with his widowed noble mother, Lady Alice, fleeing with her 3 year old son and heir to 2 noble
Good feel for the time period and the struggle to keep nobility alive. I was reminded that it takes all kinds of people to mold a person's character.
Typical Henty, good history but lots of names and places to keep track of. A decent story of a young Englishman who earns his spurs.
cool book.
From what I remember from the book, it was long and hard to understand. Not one of Henty's better works. I still don't understand the title...more
