Young Adventures by - Charles Whistler
Charles W Whistler wrote novels with young protagonists based on archaeological finds in England. These eight stories are all available here due to the good work of Mr. Rutledge (Well done, sir!) Spanning five centuries, these tales reveal the shifting fortunes of the varied peoples that became Britain: Saxons and Norse and Danes; Scots and Welsh and Irish. They manage to capture the feel of their historical era without sacrificing an easy-to-read, contemporary style. Here you will find episodes of danger and peril without the gruesome detail that can accompany modern stories. Perfect for young readers and those who read to visit that youthful mindset. Highly recommended! Here they are, in (roughly) historical order:
1. Havelok the Dane, A Legend of Old Grimsby and Lincoln (~580 AD) https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=254914 2. A Prince of Cornwall, A Story of Glastonbury and the West (~700 AD) https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=254996 3. A King’s Comrade, A Story of Old Hereford (~790 AD) https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=254974 4. Wulfric the Weapon Thane (~865 AD) https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=255039 5. A Thane of Wessex (~870 AD) https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=255009 6. King Alfred’s Viking, A Story of the First English Fleet (~885 AD) https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=254921 7. A Sea Queen Sailing, (~935 AD) https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=255002 8. King Olaf’s Kinsman, A Story of the Last Saxon Struggle (~1000 AD) https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=254942 |
