Set in the days of King Alfred, this volume in Professor Mom's® Historical Homeschooling™ Series, follows young Edmund as he journeys from fugitive to nobleman, from boy to man. As the Danish invade Saxon lands, all hope seems lost. Who will unite the disjointed Saxon people, and how can one young man affect the destiny of his entire country?
The Historical Homeschooling™ Series was designed to introduce literary and historical classics to a new generation of young people. Mr. Henty's attention to historical detail and ability to bring events of the past to life pair well with characters that are honorable and courageous. In a world where self-sacrifice has been replaced with selfishness and courage by cowardice, Henty books are like a breath of fresh air.
Homeschooling parents will appreciate this story's historical richness and literary quality; homeschooling students will appreciate its realistic descriptions and courageous characters.
