Book Description

Publication Date: December 10, 1998 | Series: Works of G. A. Henty

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

The hero, Philip Fletcher, is a right true English lad, but he has a French connection on his mother's side. This kinship induces him to cross the Channel in order to take a share in that splendid struggle for freedom known as the Huguenot wars. Naturally he sides with the Protestants, distinguishes himself in various battles, and receives rapid promotion for the zeal and daring with which he carries out several secret missions. It is an enthralling narrative throughout.

This review is from: St.Bartholomew's Eve (Paperback)

I have read at least 15 G. A. Henty books, and I loved this one! _For the Temple_ is probably my favorite Henty book, but all of his books vividly portray history, and they actually made me enjoy history! While some people say that Henty's books are only for preteens and young teens, I find that his books are excellent reading for those of any age who enjoy a good adventure story. When I first read this book I was about 16, and I loved it! I would not recommend that anyone under the age of 10 read this book as the massacre details can be somewhat unsettling and there are many mass executions and such. Also the extensive vocabulary used by Henty can be difficult to understand at times, especially for younger readers. However, Henty ws an excellent author, and everyone should read his books.
