G.A. Henty Radio Show: The Dragon and The Raven

The Henty show has returned. This afternoon, at 5 p.m. central, I will once again have the privilege to go on the radio with Mr. Bill Potter and Mr. Adam McManus of KSLR to talk about the book The Dragon and the Raven, by G.A. Henty. This is part of a series of "G. A. Henty" interviews that I have been doing over the course of the lest year with a number of friends.

The Dragon and The Raven takes place in the late 9th century and follows the adventures of a young man, Edmund, who is fighting under King Alfred "The Great" for the freedom of England from the Danish invaders. This book covers almost 15 years of wars under Alfred. In my opinion this is one of Henty's best out-lined books.

This is a really fun book that touches on the life of Alfred, the marauding Danes, and the early history of England. Henty does a great job as usual. This is also a good book for anyone who is interested in early British history.
