“The Black Arrow” is the true standard of a historical-adventure novel—golden classics of the genre. A book that our grandfathers enjoyed, and as our great-grandchildren will enjoy as well, because while years and decades pass, the story of mysterious and risky adventures happening in England in the last days of the Wars of the Roses still captivates and thrills readers.
Against the backdrop of the brutal medieval war between the dynasties of Lancaster and York—known in English history as the War of the Red and White Rose—there unfolds a love story and gripping adventures of the young Dick Shelton. The hero will have to endure a great deal, not only to restore his good name and family estate, but also to win the love of the beautiful Joanna Sedley.
