Boy Knight: A Tale Of The Crusades
Boy Knight: A Tale Of The Crusades
The Crusades. The very word conjures images of armored knights, distant deserts, and a world divided by faith. In this ripping Victorian adventure, a young English boy dreams of glory and finds himself swept into one of history's most turbulent eras. Follow Cuthbert as he leaves childhood behind and rides toward the Holy Land. What begins as a boyish hunger for adventure becomes something far weightier: survival amid sieges, the brutal mathematics of medieval warfare, and the strange, unsettling encounters with a civilization his own people call enemy. Henty, the master of historical adventure for young readers, transforms the Crusades into a vivid playground of danger and discovery. This is the book that taught generations of readers to love history through story. Perfect for young adventurers who want to feel the weight of a sword, the heat of foreign suns, and the shaping of a boy into something harder, wiser, and forever changed.
