About This Item
MP3 Audio CD. The Dragon and the Raven is one of GA Henty?s signature books and serves as a time machine that takes us back during the days of King Alfred. Set during the ages of the great Viking advances, The Dragon and the Raven tells the story of Edmund, a young boy who flees his home of East Anglia due to the Viking onslaughts and lives to see his father Eldred get killed and lose everything but his will for revenge. Edmund is thrown in a war that has remained as one of the bloodiest in our history. The fierce conflict between the Saxons and the Danes and the eventual ransacking of England. Escaping the clutches of the Vikings, Edmund manages to arrive in the last Saxon kingdom that can withstand the unrelenting wolves - Wessex. Our hero is hardened by loss and bloodshed and becomes a man that vows to stop the oppression and assure English supremacy. Accompanied by a group of soldiers specially trained by Edmund, they set sail on the sturdy ship Dragon in the long and arduous battle for freedom. These endeavors will take the young hero across Europe and even into the dangerous heartland of the bloodthirsty enemy. While the Dragon and the Raven has its fair share of fiction, it also serves as a backdrop for some of the bloodiest historical events of humanity. It depicts the conflict between the English Saxons and the Vikings, with their sheer numbers and barbarous ways. A vivid sight of dread and misery is present in The Dragon and the Raven, made even more captivating because of its historical relevance. Edmund will take you to bloody battles alongside Kind Alfred in a quest to recapture England and set Saxon rule once more as the true rule of the land.
