Havelok the Dane: A Legend of Old Grimsby and Lincoln

Charles W. Whistler

1899

Adventure, British Literature

This is the legend that English storytellers have told since the days of the Norman conquest, the tale of a murdered king's son and the humble fisherman who saved him. When King Gunnar of Denmark is betrayed and his infant heir Havelok left for dead, it is Grim the Fisher who cradles the child in his arms and carries him across the sea to the windswept shores of England. There, in the fishing village of Grimsby and the ancient city of Lincoln, the prince grows up in obscurity, his royal blood hidden beneath the rough garb of a fisherman's son. But丹麦的血统不会永远沉默, and when the tyrant's shadow stretches across the land, the boy must rise to claim his birthright. Whistler's retelling pulses with adventure, tenderness, and the romance of medieval England, where loyalty is measured in deeds and destiny flows like the tide. For readers who yearn for knights and kings, for foster-bonds stronger than steel, for the true story behind the legend that once warmed the halls of Elizabethan England.
