About this listen

In these volumes, the listener will accompany brave youths through many of the most stirring scenes in history - amidst the clash of arms, the trials of distant lands, and the testing of character in moments of peril.

The G. A. Henty Library presents these tales in full, as they were first told: stories of courage, steadfastness, and honour, wherein resourceful lads, by pluck and perseverance, win their way through danger and difficulty.

From the battlefields of Europe to the far reaches of the Empire, each narrative offers not only adventure, but a faithful glimpse into the great events of the past, and the spirit in which they were met.Public domain
