Henty is a master storyteller who will capture your attention as he relates history in a way that entertains as well as instructs. Young people across America are rediscovering G. A. Henty, the 19th century literary genius whose historical adventures inspire boys to honesty, courage, diligence, and duty. Writing from a Christian perspective, Henty weaves the adventures of a fictional boy hero together with real-life events. His stories are as accurate as they are exciting, so children get important lessons in history which they remember long afterward.

Edgar Ormskirk, the son of a scholar and scientist of Dartford, accompanies his friend Albert to London at the height of War Tyler's insurrection. Together they effect several timely rescues of young maids and their wealthy fathers, as well as Albert's mother and sister, and are rewarded in princely fashion for their deeds of valor. Knighted by the boy king, they serve of a time in Europe, but return at last to England to settle on their estates.
