St. George for England

A Tale of Cressy and Poitiers

De: G. A. Henty

Narrado por: Jim Hodges

G.A. Henty novels are highly researched as well as drawn from his first-hand experiences of people, places, and events. No portion of English history is more crowded with great events than the 100 Years’ War from 1337-1453 under King Edward III and his son, the “Black Prince.” The Battles of Cressy and Poitiers; the destruction of the Spanish fleet; the plague of the Black Death; and the Jacquerie rising are vividly related in this historically accurate adventure novel.

Walter Somers, although of good family, begins life as a London apprentice, but after countless adventures and perils, by valor and good conduct, becomes a squire, and at last the trusted friend of the Black Prince.

Great as always!

Great as always! One of his best. Though he has many it was a real treat to find this one.

Disappointed at narration.

The narrator’s inflections are as if he is reading to elementary school students. Storyline is strong and historically beneficial to the reader.

Poor production

Incorrect minor details and pronunciations took away any pleasure. Struggled to finish this book. Needs editing and perhaps a British narrator.
