What do you recommend as the entry level age for boys reading the Henty books? My oldest grandson is 10. Would Beric the Briton be appropriate for his age? Thank you, Mrs. T

Dear Mrs. Taylor,

I definitely think that a ten year old would enjoy Henty. (I started when I was nine.) The language is a little bit harder to comprehend at first than Ballantyne. But I definitely think that a ten year old could understand Henty. Out on the Pampas is a little bit easier to understand than Beric the Briton, so I would probably start a ten year-old off with Out on the Pampas.
