Return to the days of the Norman invasion of England and fight alongside
a nobleman serving the last of England's Anglo-Saxon monarchs. Wulf of
Steyning, a Saxon thane loyal to King Harold Godwinson, boldly captures
a castle in the Welsh wars, risks his life to rescue his shipwrecked
sovereign, and combats Norsemen at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Wulf
and his comrades resolutely stand by King Harold in a series of
adventures that climax at the Battle of Hastings.
Generations of readers have thrilled to this tale of loyalty and courage
in eleventh-century Britain and Normandy. Author G. A. Henty created it
in conjunction with his popular series of storybooks in which young
characters, inspired by their encounters with real-life figures, perform
heroic deeds. Historical fiction at its very best, Wulf the Saxon
offers boys and girls an exciting adventure in the medieval world.
