Another wonderful G.A. Henty Book!
I read this book with my daughter who is 10 and we had a hard time putting it down. She is studying the Middle Ages this year in school and this story brought that time period to life.

Good story, not the best writer
The story-telling in this book is great, but the grammar is not. For example, the first sentence in the book is an incomplete sentence. The book is filled with other grammatical errors and poorly constructed sentences. It's a good book, but it could have been great with better grammar, sentence structure and overall writing.

Another wonderful G.A. Henty Book!,
By Mary (FL, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Dragon and The Raven (Works of G. A. Henty) (Paperback)
I read this book with my daughter who is 10 and we had a hard time putting it down. She is studying the Middle Ages this year in school and this story brought that time period to life. Not only did we learn about the historical events of the time of King Alfred and the Vikings, but we enjoyed reading about the culture of the 9th century. We have read other books by Henty and we were not disappointed with this one. There is something here for everyone, adventure, battles, romance, friendship, etc.

Great!!,
By Micah Mintz (d052729c@dc.seflin.org) (Miami, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The dragon and the raven, or, The days of King Alfred (Hardcover)
This a masterpiece! It combines a good plot with terrific action. The story follows Edmund, a young nobleman, as he serves England and King Alfred (AKA, Alfred the great). As he sails his ship, The Dragon against the Raven (his enemy's standard) he encounters adventure, and more!
