Synopsis

Bring history back to life through Jim Hodges’ historically accurate, exciting, and edifying audio recordings. In 1381, Wat, the Tyler, and the peasants he represented urged of the King of England that serfdom should be abolished, the right of all to market their goods publicly be allowed, the price of good land to be not over four pennies an acre, and that all past offenses should be pardoned. Instead of presenting their requests in a respectful manner, they took to the streets of East Anglia, Kent, and London. Although their demands were certainly reasonable, their methods were not. Come along with Edgard Ormskirk as he helps put down the rebellion and save the lives of many in the process.The Henty Historical Novel Collection, written by George Henty in the 1800s, covers many time periods in history throughout the world.

Henty historical novels, children’s books, Overtly Christian titles, and classic literature.

Another enjoyable Henty foray into the history around Wat's Revolt in England in 1381. The narrative is as predictable as all of his books, maybe even more so in this one if that's possible, but it was still enjoyable and still an opportunity to learn a bit about the history of the period.

Another Knight's Tale Another tale of young boys becoming brave knights through battles won and lost. I enjoy learning all the new vocabulary words as I read along, like "banneret" and "cresset" among others.......more
