Book Description

October 1, 2002
Unedited, unabridged, original format editions with original colored cover art, these Henty books reproduce the original in careful detail.

Harry Sandwith, a Westminster boy, becomes a resident at the chateau of a French marquis, and after various adventures accompanies the family to Paris at the crisis of the Revolution. Imprisonment and death reduced their number, and the hero finds himself beset by perils with the three young daughters of the house in his charge. After hair-breadth escapes they reach Nantes. There the girls are condemned to death in the coffin ships, but are saved by the unfailing courage of their boy-protector.

5.0 out of 5 stars The French Revolution brought to life again!, August 23, 2001
By 
"rgddn" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
The author G.A. Henty once again spins his magic to make another major historical event understandable to the young reader--and does so in the kind of truly wonderful prose that is so very rare in today's literature for kids. No wonder this author is at the top of so many reading lists.

5.0 out of 5 stars What heroism means, February 9, 2011
This is one of my favorite stories by Henty.If more young people spent more of their time reading books like this one then chivalry and respect for women might be more common.Boys would again act like gentlemen and girls like ladies.Heroism would be part of life and not just a curious trait of characters in old books.The characters in this story are quick thinking,brave,and honorable.This tale takes place during one of the most frightening times in history yet the character of our heroes gives us a happy ending.This book is well worth your time.

5.0 out of 5 stars outstanding, November 15, 2008
We listened to this excellent story on audio cd as a family. It was captivating and we learned a lot about the French Revolution without even trying! My 9-year-old and 11-year-old listened to the story again a few months later after we had studied some of the facts of the revolution and enjoyed it thoroughly a second time through. I recommend GA Henty's audio books performed by Jim Weiss in abridged form- available through Lamppost Publishing website. I like these stories because you get a good undestanding of the context of a historical time period, and the main characters are courageous, honest, and good problem solvers.
