When the wars ended after more than three decades it was clear that the Protestant Reformation was here to stay. G.A.

Follow young Philip and his friend Francois as they navigate the perilous days of the latter 16th Ceontury. Alacrity Press is proud to make this G.A. Henty classic, available to a new generation of readers.
