Story
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.

Story
It's the time of the English Civil War in 1642. Harry Furness is a Cavalier fighting for the king; his friend, Herbert Rippinghall, sides with the Roundheads in opposition. Oliver Cromwell leads the rebels aligned against the king and his admittedly tyrannical rule, but ends up imposing his own! Most of the story follows Harry Furness and the campaigns which take him all over the British Isles and the high seas, right through his capture at Drogheda and enslavement in Bermuda.

Of The Lion of St. Mark, G.A.

Story
From 1413-1415 the butcher’s guild, otherwise known as the “White Hoods” of Paris, kept that city in a state of near anarchy. With a mad king, a virtual civil war between the houses of Orleans and Burgundy, and King Henry V of England claiming the French throne, there is plenty of opportunity for Guy Aylmer, a squire to Sir Eustace de Villeroy, to show his mettle in many a skirmish, finally winning his spurs at the lopsided victory of the English over the French at the Battle of Agincourt on October 25, 1415.

Publisher's Summary
Bring history back to life through Jim Hodges’ historically accurate, exciting, and edifying audio recordings. Shortly before the United States Revolutionary war against England, most inhabitants were her loyal subjects. France had control of much of southern Canada and the “western” lands of the current states of Pennsylvania and Ohio. Skirmishes abounded for years between English settlers pushing west and French settlers and her Indian accomplices. The Seven Years War in Europe spilled over to the colonies, where General Wolfe finally defeated the French in Quebec. This story includes depictions of the battles of Forts Duquesne and Necessity in Pennsylvania, and Forts Ticonderoga and William Henry in New York, and Quebec in Canada.
The Henty Historical Novel Collection, written by George Henty in the 1800s, covers many time periods in history throughout the world. In this collection, you will learn history, geography, and vocabulary while also discovering hero characters for your children to emulate. Study guides to enrich your learning experience are available at www.JimHodgesAudiobooks.com/product-category/study-guides .

Good, but not Henty’s best book!
This book is several hours in even getting past laying the groundwork of the characters, and finally the main character is off to the “colonies” of the New World. From that point most of the book involves a great deal of historical happenings with the character more of a necessary tag-along in order to share the history. Overall, this is a decent book and the history and happenings are the main thrust. The character is a standard Henty character, yet much less skillfully woven into the fabric of the telling.

We love Henry Novels
Our family has read out loud many of the Henty novels. I was so glad when audible started carrying them since our cassette tapes have worn out from overuse. We would read them aloud to our kids in late elementary school. Although they are targeted for boys 8-12 our 5 year old daughter would get sucked into the story. Jim Hodges is a great reader, so easy to listen to. People would often comment on my kids great vocabulary. I give credit to listening to Henty novels.

An Entertaining History
This is a delightful way to teach how Canada came to be English. There are many details of battles and yet it reads as an adventure rather than a dry text.

And they all lived happily ever after...
This was written in the typical style of a book of its time. The hero is flawless and gets out of one scrape after another with flawless character and incredible good luck. It appears to be a cleaver way of actually sharing true historical details of the "French and Indian War" in Canada.

Bad narrator
The narrator was terrible. Made the whole story less enjoyable. Was he an amateur? Seemed so

French & Indian War
Not Henty's best story, but it tells a key part of British history in North America , from the early leadership of George Washington to Wolfe's victory over 'New France' thus explaining how Canada became English. The early chapters, and the happily ever after ending, are not directly related to the war, and Walsham changes post frequently to follow the key parts of the war.

More Military History than Engaging Story
First off, I'm a big fan of GA Henty's work! But I struggle with Jim Hodges as a reader, and this story never gripped me. You know from the beginning the out come, and the second half of the book is all military campaign with very little human interest. If you're looking for an overview of the military movements of this era, it's well done, well researched (though always with bias). But as a historical fiction story, I felt like it lacked a lot of interest. I've enjoyed other GA Henty novels far more!
