5.0 out of 5 stars A great tale of adventure, September 6, 2005
By Kara Ortiez (Hamilton, Ontario) - See all my reviews
A century ago Henty was the children's author of choice throughout the British Empire. His adventures were filled with great characters, perfect role models for British youth. The stories are well paced and give an interestign insight into Victorian England. They are also well written, fast paced adventures.

The Dragon and the Raven is a novel about the days of King Alfred. Like all Henty's books, this work aims at historical accuracy and reproduces the faith and concerns of the era. King Alfred is too little known today; his faith, and his reliance on God's law, make him of little interest to modern man.

Henty gives a vivid picture of the horrors of the Danish invasions of England. For two centuries and almost three, Europe was almost shattered by the waves of invasions by the marauders from the north. The resistance to them, the gradual conversion of them, and the new Europe that emerged constitute a dramatic story. In the Dragon and The Raven, Mr. Henty gives us a fine fictional tale of one portion of that history. The hero is Edmund, a young Saxon thane, who enlists in the service of King Alfred. You'll be surprised to find how Alfred persevered through years of struggle.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Magnificent Read, January 11, 2007
A Kid's Review
"The Danish horse rode among them hewing and slaying, and the swords and battle axes of the footmen completed the work."
The Dragon and the Raven by G.A. Henty is a historical fiction novel about a young, strong and intelligent Saxon thane of King Alfred's named Edmund. He is a skilled warrior and tactical leader who is Alfred's most trusted friend and ally. King Alfed himself is a genius and capable fighter. Together, against terrible odds, they are England's last hope of defeating her usurpers.
I like this book because of its blend of medieval war, adventure, and vivid plot. The story is spectacular and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading about battle, adventure, or history.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The book for reading is good but the quality of production is very poor. The book is falling apart with pages falling out constantly.
