The Tiger of Mysore: A Story of the War with Tippoo Saib
1895
A pulse-pounding Victorian adventure set in the explosive world of British India at war. When Dick Holland learns his sea captain father has been captured by the notorious Tippoo Sultan of Mysore, he and his mother embark on a desperate voyage across the ocean to rescue him. Dick enlists in Lord Cornwallis's army and fights through the campaign that will ultimately shatter Tippoo's empire. But the boldest act still awaits: infiltrating the impregnable fortress of Seringapatam in disguise, rescuing the Sultan''s harem from a rampaging tiger, and winning dangerous favor from the tyrant himself. From hill forts crawling with enemies to the gilded cruelty of Tippoo's court, Dick must use every ounce of courage and cunning to find his father and escape with his life. Henty delivers the breathless adventure that made him the Victorian era's most beloved writer of historical boys' fiction, capturing both the romance and the brutal realities of imperial warfare.
